Описание: The Hazel Wood meets The Astonishing Color of After in this dreamy, atmospheric novel that follows sixteen-year-old Eli as she tries to remember what truly happened the night her mother disappeared off a frozen fjord in Norway under the Northern Lights. Never whistle at the Northern Lights, the legend goes, or they'll sweep down from the sky and carry you away. Sixteen-year-old Eline Davis knows it's true. She was there ten years ago, on a frozen fjord in Svalbard, Norway, the night her mother whistled at the lights and then vanished. Now, Eli lives an ordinary life with her dad on Cape Cod. But when the Northern Lights are visible over the Cape for just one night, she can't resist the possibility of seeing her mother again. So she whistles--and it works. Her mother appears, with snowy hair, frosty fingertips and a hazy story of where she's been all these years. And she doesn't return alone. Along with Eli's mother's reappearance come strange, impossible things. Narwhals swimming in Cape Cod Bay, meteorites landing in Eli's yard, and three shadowy princesses with ominous messages. It's all too much, too fast, and Eli pushes her mother away. She disappears again--but this time, she leaves behind a note that will send Eli on a journey across continents, to the northern tip of the world:
Find me where I left you.

Описание: The Hazel Wood meets The Astonishing Color of After in this dreamy, atmospheric novel that follows sixteen-year-old Eli as she tries to remember what truly happened the night her mother disappeared off a frozen fjord in Norway under the Northern Lights. According to Arctic legend, if you whistle at the Northern Lights, they'll swoop down and carry you off forever. Sixteen-year-old Eline Davis knows it's true because it happened to her mother. Eli was there that night on the remote glacier in Svalbard, when her mother whistled, then vanished. Years later, Eli is living with her dad on Cape Cod. When Eli discovers the Northern Lights will be visible for one night on the Cape, she hatches a plan to use the lights to contact her missing mother. And it works. Her mother arrives with a hazy story of where she's been all this time. Eli knows no one will believe them, so she keeps it all a secret. But when magical, dangerous things start happening--narwhals appearing in Cape Cod Bay, meteorites landing in the yard by the hundreds, three shadowy fairytale princesses whispering ominous messages--the secrets start to become more like lies. It's all too much, too fast, and Eli pushes her mother away, not expecting her to disappear as abruptly as she appeared. Her mother's gone again, and Eli's devastated. Until she finds the note written in mother's elegant scrawl: Find me where I left you. And so, off to Svalbard Eli goes.
Описание: For over twenty-three years I've been living with terminal illness...A.L.S., better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. At the time I was diagnosed in late 1996 the doctors told me I had at most two years left to live. The reasons I've survived against all odds and continue healing form the basis for this book.My story chronicles the search for an answer to my incurable plight outside mainstream medicine's end-of-the-road diagnosis. It highlights my journey to Brazil to seek out a powerful healer renowned for treating diverse illnesses for which there are no known cures. It follows me as my entire worldview is sent spinning out of control as I'm introduced to an extraordinary new reality where anything...even the miraculous...is possible.Drawing on extensive private journal entries interspersed throughout my fantastic tale I create twin storylines: one raw and deeply personal, the other as a more objective observer. I'm led to insights into why disease occurred and slowly discover what it was there to teach me. Acting as a kind of spiritual anthropologist...a numenographer...I partake in any experience that will put me in touch with answers not found in the established paradigm: shamanic journeywork, taking ayahuasca in a Santo Daime ritual, being tutored by a Russian psychic and energy healer in how to access information contained in the Akashic records, accessing past lives, participating in the soul retrieval process and discovering that I am a medium. These transformative vehicles deliver me to levels of personal growth, healing and awakening far surpassing even my original manic quest to find a cure for the remediless.By delving into the psycho-emotional root causes that ultimately manifest as bodily disease, I begin connecting with revelations that lead me to the resolution of my true dilemma. My story traces an unprecedented path to locating a cure that eventually becomes the pursuit of a wholeness long absent from my life.
