Written in 1892 but not published until 1916, this beautifully crafted story features two sisters who keep a shop in a shabby part of New York City. When Ann Eliza, the eldest sister, gifts Evelina with a clock on her birthday, events are set in motion which will forever change not only their relationship but the very fabric of their world.

As a chronic insomniac, I have long sought an effective remedy. Traditional sleep meditations and soothing sounds only caused hyperfocusing and aggravation. Rather than instructing your mind to rest, this book is intended to give your mind lovely things to dwell on, allowing you to drift in and out of thought as you relax through the rhythmic tones. Though it is recorded at a slow pace, the speed can be adjusted in settings, allowing for an individualized experience.
The book is divided into three sections:
Physical Rest – poems directly related to sleep and resting
“Come Rest Awhile” – LM Montgomery
“To Say Before Going to Sleep” – Rainier Maria Rilke
“Wynken, Blynken, and Nod” – Eugene Field

Scenic Rest – poems involving relaxing scenes
“Hymn to the Night” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
