When 16-year-old poetry blogger Tessa Dickinson is involved in a car accident and loses her eyesight for 100 days, she feels like her whole world has been turned upside-down. Terrified that her vision might never return, Tessa feels like she has nothing left to be happy about. But when her grandparents place an ad in the local newspaper looking for a typist to help Tessa continue writing and blogging, an unlikely answer knocks at their door: Weston Ludovico, a boy her age with bright eyes, an optimistic smile...and no legs. Knowing how angry and afraid Tessa is feeling, Weston thinks he can help her. But he has one condition -- no one can tell Tessa about his disability. And because she can't see him, she treats him with contempt: screaming at him to get out of her house and never come back. But for Weston, it's the most amazing feeling: to be treated like a normal person, not just a sob story. So he comes back. Again and again and again. Tessa spurns Weston's "obnoxious optimism", convinced that he has no idea what she's going through. But Weston knows exactly how she feels and reaches into her darkness to show her that there is more than one way to experience the world. As Tessa grows closer to Weston, she finds it harder and harder to imagine life without him -- and Weston can't imagine life without her. But he still hasn't told her the truth, and when Tessa's sight returns he'll have to make the hardest decision of his life: vanish from Tessa's world...or overcome his fear of being seen. 100 Days of Sunlight is a poignant and heartfelt novel by author Abbie Emmons. If you like sweet contemporary romance and strong family themes then you'll love this touching story of hope, healing, and getting back up when life knocks you down.

What if the emotions of your past experiences continued to secretly control your life today? What if these residual, inner blockages prevented you from truly connecting with, trusting and working with others? What if your life was a continuous loop of the same story being retold with slightly different characters and settings no matter where you are and which people you choose to have relationships with? So many of us have been wounded with emotional pain at some point in our lives and are still carrying this emotional stress with us. It not only affects your emotional strength and intelligence, which influences your ability to make clear, conscientious decisions, but can prevent you from your optimal potential in achieving success, happiness and fulfillment. To define the new era of leadership in your own lives, it's time challenge your thinking. Emotional GRIT establishes a new model of human leadership within and beyond the workforce - to build a more heart-centered, compassionate environment in companies, communities, schools and families - so that you can master your inner-strength and positively impact the world around you. What causes someone's actual transformation, why is it we hide behind our "masks", and what does that say about your current leadership. To achieve authentic happiness we must first uncover what stories are playing themselves out in our lives. How can you shift your own lives as a result once you become more self-aware and practice more compassion and empathy within your own lives to create ripple effects in your world as a result? The process is simple and designed to give you a powerful framework to GROW, REVEAL, INNOVATE and finally TRANSFORM your life and become the compassionate leader you and the world desperately needs, one with true Emotional GRIT.
