520    "After surviving a difficult heartbreak and battle with 
       cancer, Julia Baird began to explore how she and others 
       persevere through the most challenging circumstances life 
       throws at us. She asks: when our world goes dark, when we 
       are overwhelmed by illness or heartbreak, loss or pain, 
       tragedy outside our control, how do we survive, stay alive
       and even bloom? She went in search of "the magic that will
       sustain us and fuel the light within - our own 
       phosphorescence ". Phosphorescence can be found in nature 
       - in glow worms, fireflies, flashlight fish, 
       bioluminescent oceans; it is a phenomenon that allows 
       creatures to give off light amidst darkness. Baird writes 
       about the things that lit her way through the darkness: a 
       connection to nature, friendships, her faith, experiencing
       awe, and other habits that changed her life. She also goes
       in search of how others nurture their inner light, 
       interviewing the founder of the modern forest therapy 
       movement in Tokyo, a jellyfish scientist in Tasmania, and 
       a tattooed priest from Colorado, among others. Weaving 
       together candid memoir with research and reflections on 
       nature, Baird inspires readers to embrace new habits and 
       adopt a phosphorescent outlook on life, to illuminate our 
       days even in the darkest times"--|cProvided by publisher.
