Grief, fear, and nostalgia for our relatively carefree pre-COVID lives (\"oh \/ let us slow dance to a fast song \/ because we can\") weaves a fabric that memorializes this international trauma. This book shows us that learning to live with fear and uncertainty uncovers the resilience we often don't know we have: \"So you walk outdoors toward the blossoms \/ And the monster loses its hold in the trees \/And you stand beneath the pink and crimson, \/ Its scent-feast you pray will cleanse and release \/As the petals rain down in a shower.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellen Austin-Li\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646625722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646625727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Finishing Line Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.10d","brand":"Ellen Austin-Li","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995424850175,"sku":"9781646625727","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa3afc95-a564-4fde-aa1e-68954d37c5f3.jpg?v=1683335744","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lockdown-ellen-austin-li-9781646625727","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
