Sam\u2019s wife Rachel is a veteran athlete who has celebrated the prowess of her body in sports played at the highest levels.

Sam is forced down a path of increasing isolation and despair, towards a final act of great scholarship through which he tries to recover his faith in love.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sam and Rachel are surrounded by family and close friends who are likewise tested by careers, relationships, temptations and tragedies.

It encourages us all to use wisely the time we have left, to choose what we must remember, what we should forget, who we could forgive, for what we must make amends, and eventually, how we might say goodbye.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5172d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d5172d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>In Body, In Mind<\/em> is available in paperback, and as an e-book, in both MOBI and EPUB formats.<\/p><p>For anyone interested in reading about how this work came into being, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phenomenology.com.au\/press\/books\/books-ibim\/in-body-in-mind-origin-story\/\">here<\/a> to go to the Origin Story for this book.<\/p><p>For anyone interested in delving further into some of the philosophical and creative references within the story, or to find some suggestions for further reading, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phenomenology.com.au\/press\/books\/books-ibim\/in-body-in-mind-references\/\">her<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">e to go to the References and Further Reading page for this book.<\/span><\/p><p>For anyone with a first print copy of this book who finds it&#8217;s missing some pages, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phenomenology.com.au\/press\/shop\/\">here<\/a> to go to the Shop where you can get a free download of the missing content.
