Book excerpt: Funny, poignant, and deeply moving, The Line Tender is a story of nature's enduring mystery and a girl determined to find meaning and connection within it. Wherever the sharks led, Lucy Everhart's marine-biologist mother was sure to follow. In fact, she was on a boat far off the coast of Massachusetts, collecting shark data when she died suddenly. Lucy was seven. Since then Lucy and her father have kept their heads above water--thanks in large part to a few close friends and neighbors. But June of her twelfth summer brings more than the end of school and a heat wave to sleepy Rockport. On one steamy day, the tide brings a great white--and then another tragedy, cutting short a friendship everyone insists was "meaningful" but no one can tell Lucy what it all meant. To survive the fresh wave of grief, Lucy must grab the line that connects her depressed father, a stubborn fisherman, and a curious old widower to her mother's unfinished research on the Great White's return to Cape Cod. If Lucy can find a way to help this unlikely quartet follow the sharks her mother loved, she'll finally be able to look beyond what she's lost and toward what's left to be discovered. ★"Confidently voiced."—Kirkus Reviews, starred ★"Richly layered."—Publishers Weekly, starred ★"A hopeful path forward."—Booklist, starred ★"Life-affirming."—BCCB, starred ★"Big-hearted." —Bookpage, starred ★“Will appeal to just about everyone.” – SLC, starred ★"Exquisitely, beautifully real."—Shelf Awareness, starred

Download or read book Feeling Our Way written by Regina Bogle and published by Wild Ginger Press. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tenderness, the gift of a loving heart, ideally greets us at birth and guides our walk through life. Unfortunately, many of us give up hope for tenderness as we grow, except perhaps in our most intimate moments. Worse, we cast aside all thought of extending this gift to ourselves. Yet our feelings need the care of a tender heart if we are to thrive in our challenging, insensitive world. Our feelings serve as messengers of information; the heart is their best interpreter. Yes, our tender heart can be hurt, but it can also heal us. Sadly, when we avoid our painful feelings and separate the hurting from the healing, we feel our heart broken in two. We then interpret feelings through the judgments of an inner critic whose barrage includes both our feeling responses to life and relationships and those feelings derived from empathy--the ability to sense the inner physical and emotional states of others. Confusion, anxiety, and depression follow while their source remains hidden. Feeling Our Way: Embracing the Tender Heart integrates neurological, psychological, energy medicine, and spiritual perspectives to provide reader-friendly information, insights, and tools for those wanting to heal their tender, broken heart. This work honors feeling as pathway to the sacred and an essential aspect of our evolving human potential.
