The Only Thing To Fear

In a stunning reimagining of history, debut author Caroline Tung Richmond weaves an incredible story of secrets and honor in a world where the Axis powers won World War II. In a world where the Axis powers won WWII, the US has been divided up by the victors and the eastern half has fallen under oppressive Nazi rule for nearly 70 years. 16-year-old Zara longs for an America she's only read about -- free from persecution for being a non-Aryan. And she's not alone. The rumblings of a revolution have started, and Zara finds herself drawn into a rebel group determined to overthrow the Third Reich. When Bastian, the charming son an SS officer, approaches Zara about joining the Alliance, she denies all knowledge. Yet Bastian is determined, and Zara quickly decides it'll be easier to keep an eye on an enemy if she knows where he is. Especially since Zara has a dangerous secret that, if discovered by the Nazis, would land her in either a labor camp or a grave. But her secret might very well be the key to taking down the Führer. Can Zara and the Alliance topple the Third Reich for good, or will Bastian betray her, forcing Zara to pay the ultimate price for freedom?

A revolutionary guide to acknowledging fear and developing the tools we need to build a healthy relationship with this confusing emotion—and use it as a positive force in our lives. We all feel fear. Yet we are often taught to ignore it, overcome it, push past it. But to what benefit? This is the essential question that guides Kristen Ulmer’s remarkable exploration of our most misunderstood emotion in The Art of Fear. Once recognized as the best extreme skier in the world (an honor she held for twelve years), Ulmer knows fear well. In this conversation-changing book, she argues that fear is not here to cause us problems—and that in fact, the only true issue we face with fear is our misguided reaction to it (not the fear itself). Rebuilding our experience with fear from the ground up, Ulmer starts by exploring why we’ve come to view it as a negative. From here, she unpacks fear and shows it to be just one of 10,000 voices that make up our reality, here to help us come alive alongside joy, love, and gratitude. Introducing a mindfulness tool called “Shift,” Ulmer teaches readers how to experience fear in a simpler, more authentic way, transforming our relationship with this emotion from that of a draining battle into one that’s in line with our true nature. Influenced by Ulmer’s own complicated relationship with fear and her over 15 years as a mindset facilitator, The Art of Fear will reconstruct the way we react to and experience fear—empowering us to easily and permanently address the underlying cause of our fear-based problems, and setting us on course to live a happier, more expansive future.
