Perpetual Motion

In Perpetual Motion, Dana slows down long enough to detail his dash through a fast-paced life. This is the inspirational and moving saga of how-historical, cultural, and environmental events influenced a fertile mind, driving him forward on a quest for personal growth and self-expression, in the face of adversity. With remarkable candour and sparkling humour, he relays his coming of age in small-town Southwestern Ontario in the '60s and '70s; through his family hardships; struggles with anxiety, depression, and PTSD; and the surprising journey to the creative arts, that resurrected the indelible spirit in him today. Perpetual Motion is infused with love, empathy, and wisdom; culminating in twenty-three life lessons, including "Embrace the Music," "Take Time to Grieve," and "Learn How to Make Soup." Stories told of grief and tragedy but promising a lighted path forward, this memoir will comfort, delight, and inspire readers of all stripes to consider their own life journeys.
