Story
The vacation of a lifetime ended abruptly with a positive test for Covid-19. Janine was whisked off her luxury dive boat in the Maldives, ordered into isolation, and left to fend for herself on a conservative Islamic island on the other side of the world, terrified and alone.

Janine does an amazing job of painting such a vivid picture and conveying emotions! She does this so well that at times, I realized I had quit breathing and felt as if I was the main character. Although the story line was different from anything in my own life, the emotions are relatable and Janine draws the reader into the story throughout the book. "Live your life. The scary parts don't last that long...Allowing the fear and moving through it is worth it! Fear has purpose. I invite my fears to sit beside me for a chat..." Just as the buffalo intuitively heads face first into a storm knowing that it will get through it quicker, Janine faces her storm with the same courage by leaning into the fear and accepting that being 'fully at peace and full of anxiety' can exist in the same space at the same time. Thank you Janine for the raw, vulnerable story you allowed us all to experience with you.
