Shine, a Handbook for Living Cassandra Wilcox

SHINE, A HANDBOOK FOR LIVING BY CASSANDRA WILCOX A poignant, beautifully written tale, Shine, a Handbook for Living is a life manual with a difference. Written in two parts: one part, story and the other part, fact, it explores universal themes such as desire, addiction, friendship, love, death and letting go. The story is set in Sydney in the 1980s, and tells the tale of Jem, a young woman who travels from London to fulfil her dream of becoming a screenwriter. Following her journey, we join in her struggle to overcome the challenges that she meets along the way. Woven into the story are words of wisdom from people, past and present; Nelson Mandela, HH the Dalai Lama and Viktor Frankl are just some of the world?s great leaders and philosophers who contribute to a tale about following your heart and never forgetting that dreams do come true, though not always in the way you want, and never in the way that you expect.
