By now I'm certain you've explored the benefits of your afternoon relaxing session.  It is imperative that you find quiet time each day, especially late afternoon, to recharge your batteries.  This will enable you to complete your evening tasks with less pain. 

Before resting, I prompt you to read a few pages of Louise Erdrich's The Round House.  It will engage your senses, allowing you the freedom to wisk away to another place and another time.

Book Description
Release Date: October 2, 2012 
 
National Book Award Winner


One Sunday in the spring of 1988, a woman living on a reservation in North 
Dakota is attacked. The details of the crime are slow to surface as Geraldine 
Coutts is traumatized and reluctant to relive or reveal what happened, either
to  the police or to her husband, Bazil, and thirteen-year-old son, Joe. In one
day,  Joe's life is irrevocably transformed. He tries to heal his mother, but
she will  not leave her bed and slips into an abyss of solitude. Increasingly
alone, Joe  finds himself thrust prematurely into an adult world for which he is
ill  prepared.

While his father, who is a tribal judge, endeavors to wrest justice from a 
situation that defies his efforts, Joe becomes frustrated with the official 
investigation and sets out with his trusted friends, Cappy, Zack, and Angus, to 
get some answers of his own. Their quest takes them first to the Round House, a 
sacred space and place of worship for the Ojibwe. And this is only the beginning.

Written with undeniable urgency, and illuminating the harsh realities of 
contemporary life in a community where Ojibwe and white live uneasily together, 
The Round House is a brilliant and entertaining novel, a masterpiece of 
literary fiction. Louise Erdrich embraces tragedy, the comic, a spirit world 
very much present in the lives of her all-too-human characters, and a tale of 
injustice that is, unfortunately, an authentic reflection of what happens in
our  own world today. - Amazon
