'Fascinating, harrowing, courageous, and deeply felt, these
explorations of "dangerous stories", harmful past events and trials
of the soul speak to all who've encountered dark waters and have
had to navigate them.' Margaret Atwood Sarah Polley's work as an
actor, screenwriter and director is celebrated for its honesty,
complexity and deep humanity. She brings all those qualities, along
with her exquisite storytelling skills, to these six essays. Each
one captures a piece of Polley's life as she remembers it, while at
the same time examining the fallibility of memory and the embodied
reactions of children and women adapting and surviving. The guiding
light is the possibility of experiencing the past anew, as the
person she is now but was not then. In this extraordinary book,
Polley explores what it is to live in one's body, in a constant
state of becoming, learning and changing. As she was advised after
a catastrophic head injury - if we relinquish our protective crouch
and run towards the danger, then life can be reset, reshaped and
lived afresh. '[Polley is] a stunningly sophisticated observer of
the world and an imperfect witness to the truth.' New York Times
