A romantic pause-resister propelled by the 60-year secret that has shaped two families, four lovers, and one seaside resort community.

Having struggled with serious mental illness for many years himself, Mark Freeman has become a dedicated mental-health advocate and coach. He makes the case that instead of trying to feel less and avoid pain and stress, we need to build emotional fitness, especially our capacity for strength, balance, and focus.
