DESCRIPTION:Book Club is a welcoming\, low-pressure space for anyone who lo
 ves a good story and friendly conversation. We meet once a month on a Mond
 ay to share our thoughts on a wide variety of engaging reads. This year\, 
 we’re exploring the works of Canadian authors\, including fiction\, memo
 irs\, history\, and other thought-provoking literary non-fiction.\nThere
 ’s no expectation to attend every meeting - join when you can! And if li
 fe gets in the way and you haven’t finished the book\, you’re still mo
 re than welcome to come and take part in the discussion. Our meetings are 
 relaxed and collaborative\, with everyone invited to share insights\, ask 
 questions\, or simply listen.\nWhether you’re a lifelong reader or just 
 looking for a reason to read more\, the Rosedale Centre Book Club is a gre
 at way to connect with others\, discover new authors\, and be part of a wa
 rm and welcoming community.\nIf you have an questions reach out to Carolin
 e Duncanson at cduncanson@sympatico.ca\nThis month's book is Run Towards 
 the Danger by Sarah Polley:\n"Sarah Polley's work as an actor\, screenwrit
 er\, and director is celebrated for its honesty\, complexity\, and deep hu
 manity. She brings all those qualities\, along with her exquisite storytel
 ling chops\, to these six essays. Each one captures a piece of Polley's li
 fe as she remembers it\, while at the same time examining the fallibility 
 of memory\, the mutability of reality in the mind\, and the possibility of
  experiencing the past anew\, as the person she is now but was not then. A
 s Polley writes\, the past and present are in a "reciprocal pressure dance
 ."\n\nPolley contemplates stories from her own life ranging from stage fri
 ght to high-risk childbirth to endangerment and more. After struggling wit
 h the aftermath of a concussion\, Polley met a specialist who gave her who
 lly new advice: to recover from a traumatic injury\, she had to retrain he
 r mind to strength by charging towards the very activities that triggered 
 her symptoms. With riveting clarity\, she shows the power of applying that
  same advice to other areas of her life in order to find a path forward\, 
 a way through. Rather than live in a protective crouch\, she had to run to
 wards the danger.\n\nIn this extraordinary book\, Polley explores what it 
 is to live in one's body\, in a constant state of becoming\, learning\, an
 d changing."
