Actress Janine Turner has a new book out – “The Pivot Principle — Finding Joy in Despair” … She explains how the C19 times brought this about.

Plus, she’s written a musical and is the star and lyricist about a woman who ran for President in the 1800s. Great stuff.

“I wanted to deal with trauma… In the throes of it all, I coped by writing poetry,” explained Turner. “I can help people come out of despair. The book is humble, it’s curious. I walk through what I went through.”

“That’s written in regular prose. Surrounding it is the poetry that I wrote,” she added. “Each section encompasses different principles.”
