On the next Hometown Alaska, Lori Townsend hosts guest Leigh Newman, author of the new book Still Points North: One Alaskan Childhood, One Grown up World and one long journey home. Leigh’s riveting story tells of her struggles growing up between two homes; her father’s in Anchorage and her mother’s in Baltimore.
