People in our modern Western culture search for happiness with unrelenting dedication. Despite that search, suffering persists due to our way of living: high levels of illness, depression, addictions, suicide, violence and the destruction of the natural world through climate change. We seek happiness desperately but are not finding it.The seventeen stories that comprise this book are my attempts to uncover, in various ways, why our seeking is so futile and how this syndrome can be transformed. The fundamental problem is not complex. We look for fulfillment in every way imaginable outside of the resources of our spiritual nature. In reality, we do not have to seek happiness because happiness is already present at the core of our own being--waiting patiently for us to wake up.

Slowly, ever so slowly, the vessel left the side of Pier #7 and was sea-born. Her engine gently pulled her out into the coldness of the Atlantic. There was definitely a crispness in the air. A brisk wind was brushing against Analee as she watched her kin become smaller and smaller. Soon they disappeared altogether, and she was left standing with a feeling of heaviness and dread. It would have been worse if she'd known then that she'd never see her mother again. "My heart is broken, Jacob.""Thus begin the adventures of Stone House. RP Mickelson's novel of Norwegian homesteaders in the Canadian prairies is a warm and well-researched tale of ancestors long passed and the country they helped build.
