Blossoms of the Lower Branches, a Hero's Journey Through GriefA recovered life is more than a griever's sorrow, it is a hero's win. This is an invitation to anyone locked in grief's grip who would like a more aware and positive look of where they have been, where they are, and where they are going. Grieving parents, children, spouses, siblings and friends would never choose to travel grief's hero journey. It is a dark walk through a mythical underworld, living in the belly of whale, facing tasks with Odysseus,
A recovered life is more than a griever's sorrow, it is a hero's win. This is an invitation to anyone locked in grief's grip who would like a more aware and positive look of where they have been, where they are, and where they are going. Grieving parents, children, spouses, siblings and friends would never choose to travel grief's hero journey. It is a dark walk through a mythical underworld, living in the belly of whale, facing tasks with Odysseus, seeing life's threads with the Norse Three Fates, and walking through frightening fairy tale forests. It is a deadly serious journey. Rebecca is a fellow traveler who made many mistakes as she grieved after her brother's death. Only after many years did she piece together her story and realize its similarity with the hero's journey. She tells her story, along with the story of many other grievers, who eventually accept, prepare and make the journey before experiencing a thoughtful return to a renewed life. Grief is not easy or pretty, and not everyone succeeds in finding a way through. The hero's journey has been in the written and oral traditions of cultures across the globe from the beginning of storytelling, and they all say this: Not everyone who begins the journey is a hero. Only those who finish the lonely journey and face its sorrows become heroes.Binding Type: Paperback

Folksy, spooky, downright darling
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Oh my goodness, this book. Ash Van Otterloo is quickly becoming one of my insta-read authors. Their folksy, spooky, downright darling stories are such a joy to read! A TOUCH OF RUCKUS was magnificent. I adored Tennie and Fox's relationship, the ghosts were creepy as heck, and the setting of a small, mountain-side town was as charming as ever. If I could eat pizza, I would have taken a bookstagram pic with it and this book! Boy, did it make me hungry!! 🍕

Ash Van Otterloo is one of my absolute favorite middle grade authors. Their voice is so beautiful and full of heart and I always find myself quickly lost in their books. I absolutely adored everything about these characters and this story. I can’t wait to read whatever Ash Van Otterloo writes next!
