“…if you can’t learn to travel comfortably with your fear, then you’ll never be able to go anywhere interesting or do anything interesting.” Elizabeth Gilbert
“Too little fear and you don’t pay enough attention; too much and you freeze.” Anthony Doerr, Cloud Cuckoo Land
When Phoebe sees her friends laughing and playing in the waves, her legs freeze. She can’t move. Exhausted from always watching others having fun, Phoebe tries to make her big fears small. But Luci, her doll, pans all her attempts. Now Phoebe must create something Luci will approve or else get stuck on the sidelines eternally looking, lamenting, and lonely.
