"Lazy Eye Lotus is a little bit like an Eat Pray Love on acid, written with candor and humor, in which a young adult heals from rock bottom using an unorthodox path."-Elle Nash, Author of Animals Eat Each Other "This beautifully interesting story starts with a bang, ends with a bang, and keeps you captivated through everything in between.Lazy Eye Lotus feels like so many people I've known and been. It's incredibly relatable while leaving plenty of room for surprise. Rich and delicious."- Morgan Garza, Author of Soul Magic Tash, an androgynous tough girl, fails out of corporate America after losing her job for the third time. Once her romantic interest ends up in a coma following a freak accident, she finds herself on a road trip to seek shamanic healing at an ayahuasca retreat. Through a series of psychedelic experiences with her new free-spirited friends she meets at a psychic shop, she begins to seek her life's path and uncovers the roots of her addictive behaviors. Before Tash completes her journey, she finds herself in the bed of her newfound mentor's beau, throwing into question her sense of morality, friendship, loyalty and self. A mix of Otessa Moshfegh's "My Year of Rest and Relaxation" and Sally Rooney's "Conversations with Friends," Lazy Eye Lotus explores themes of psychedelic drug use, plant medicine, shamanism, addiction, anxiety and the complex nature of relationships, romance and sex. It's an idiosyncratic, romantic, slightly comedic story which reveals the phenomenal power of the mind and the importance of self-healing. Lazy Eye Lotus is a powerful debut written with a terrific underpinning around the authenticity of self. "Thought provoking journey between the emotional and the physical. Bacinski's work reads like a super engaging podcast."- Bud Smith, Author of Work

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important                 historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to                 apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to                 sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and                 does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is                 culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally                 enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or                 missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the                 original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it                 back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with                 access to the best possible historical reprints.

Two officers described as 'God's gift to the Native community' were never tried in a court of law, yet implicated through a public inquiry in a decade-old Aboriginal freezing death, and fired. All this during a time of great confusion, beneath an emotional cloud of alleged racism. The cold, hard fact is: now the dust has settled, not a single Saskatoon police officer was ever found involved in a single freezing death. Citizens are asking: 'If, the justice system can assign blame to two reputable officers without any real evidence - how safe are we?
