Our protagonist, 16-year old, Leyla McQueen, is living on her own in London. Set at the end of the 21st-century, the world is now underwater. The Light at the Bottom of the World is no exception. And her father will be lost to her forever.ĭebut novels have really been impressive lately. If Leyla fails to discover the truths at the heart of her world, or falls prey to her own fears, she risks capture-or worse. Now she must brave unfathomable waters and defy a corrupt government determined to keep its secrets, all the while dealing with a guarded, hotheaded companion she never asked for in the first place.

In the last days of the twenty-first century, sea creatures swim through the ruins of London. Hope had abandoned them to the wrath of all the waters. ![]() ![]() ![]() I hesitate to give you a straight answer, as that has never been my habit. You ask me what we should be called, having been nameless for so long. Yes, I admit it! I am not just one but two. What was a man with two minds except a mutant? Perhaps even a monster. ![]() ![]() With two minds, I am able to see any issue from both sides, and while I once flattered myself that this was a talent, now I understand it to be a curse. I am also still a man of two faces and two minds, one of which might perhaps yet still be intact. This must make me a ghostwriter, and as such, it is a simple, if spooky, matter to dip my pen into the ink flowing from my twin holes, one drilled by myself, the other by Bon, my best friend and blood brother. What a peculiar condition, being dead yet penning these lines in my little room in Paradise. How can I not be, with two holes in my head from which leaks the black ink in which I am writing these words. I may no longer be a spy or a sleeper, but I am most definitely a spook. ![]() ![]() And the biographer’s claim that this was the first comprehensive look into Wright’s life was not unfounded - fiercely private, she gave very few interviews over the course of her career, and next to nothing was publicly known about her later years and death until The Secret Life’s publication in 2004. But something about this biography’s promise to tell the story, for the first time in full, of the author of a once-famed children’s book from the 1950s who fell out of the limelight in later life spoke to me. I had, at this point, never heard of Dare Wright or The Lonely Doll, named “ the creepiest children’s book” of all-time by The New Yorker in 2017. It was at such a store that, thanks to their wide and eclectic range of often offbeat literary biographies, I came across Jean Nathan’s The Secret Life of the Lonely Doll: The Search for Dare Wright. I try to do my part to keep my passion for books alive through stores like these, as it’s there that you can often unearth valuable, out-of-print gems that you would unlikely find anywhere else. Bookshops like these have become a precious rarity in the digital age and especially with the continued decline of brick-and-mortar retail. ![]() ![]() ![]() A few months back, I was browsing the shelves of my favorite used bookstore. ![]() ![]() ![]() Being passionate about a cause means we take action outside of ourselves to further an issue that we care about.A negative emotional state equates to something having a detrimental effect on our personal well-being.Note: I make a big distinction between getting emotional about a cause versus being passionate about a cause. When I’m ruled by my emotions and lose that presence of mind, it’s usually because there’s some sort of fear at the root of it. Mastering the mind and emotions is a way to avoid unnecessary stress (on both myself and those around me) and keep the presence of mind to be who I want to be, no matter the situation. If I remember to do this, there are cases when I realize that there’s no need to get caught up in the current, and that actually I just need to put my feet down and stand up. Have the presence of mind to step back and look at things more objectively. One of the best things I can do for myself is just be aware that this is happening. The words “caught up” make me think of water, getting swept away. It’s easy to get caught up in the mind and emotional because of it. ![]() ![]() When it comes to the mind and emotions, I see this area as far more difficult to gain mastery over than the physical body. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the film, Doug (Harper) and his longtime girlfriend Lori (Cash) split up just days before Lori's younger sister's big destination wedding. ![]() He also stars alongside Aya Cash in the new romantic comedy We Broke Up.
