One golden summer
by Carley Fortune
"Good things happen at the lake. That's what Alice's grandmother says, and it's true. Alice spent just one summer at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen--it's where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat, theimage that changed her life. Now Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer, she's most comfortable on the sidelines, letting other people shine. Lately, though, she's been itching for something more, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place, Barry's Bay. But as soon as they settle in, their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar yellow boat, and the man driving it. Charlie Florek was nineteen when Alice took his photo from afar. Now he's all grown up--a shameless flirt, who manages to make Nan laugh and Alice long to be seventeen again, when life was simpler, when taking pictures was just for fun. Sun-slanted days and warm nights out on the lake with Charlie are a balm for Alice's soul, but when she looks up and sees his piercing green gaze directly on her, she begins to worry for her heart. Because Alice sees people--that's why she is so good at what she does--but she's never met someone who looks and sees her right back"

Youand only you choose which neurochemical will take strongest hold in your brain and heart; you choose what story your cells will hear. Many of us talk about trauma--indeed, have experienced real trauma, especially in these fraught times; healthcare providers are increasingly aware of the physiological effects of trauma. But what is the antidote? Too many times, platitudes of gratitude, "self care," and "just be brave" are offered--but what if these do more harm than good? What if the key to healing traumais to face your pain, meet it lovingly, and then use it as rocket fuel for your personal revolution? What if the act of meeting your pain head on is a path to Joy? Integrative physician and healthcare activist Dr. Tanmeet Sethi knows this firsthand--fromthe patients she serves, to her own heartache and personal history. Choosing Joy is a life changing act of personal, biological, and spiritual justice--and an act of community service. Choosing Joy improves your mood and immune system and increases your energy. Choosing Joy is a revolution. In Joy Is My Justice, Dr. Sethi shares her methods for rewiring mind and body to shift our biochemistry into Joy at the cellular level. Grounded in powerful stories and potent guided meditations and self inquiries, Joy Is My Justice guides everyone to recover their personal power and purpose"
