On this episode, we hear about a new book from Chitina-raised and Soldotna-based author Aurora Hardy. She wrote a fictional biography of her father, Sonny, who joined the Alaska Territorial Guard at 12 during World War 2. Sonny left the family when Hardy was 4-years-old, leaving Hardy with nothing but stories from people who knew him. She says her book “Honor at Last” was a way to grow closer to a father she barely knew and show the lasting impacts on Alaska Natives whose military service went largely unappreciated.
