HAPPY BONES MANUAL
I graduated from the National Academy of Osteopathy in 2015, and worked between Dublin and London as a Manual Osteopath before I returned home to Ontario. It was then that it became my passion and my purpose to bring this same experience to all of my patients. I felt like my needs were being heard, and like I was being considered as a whole person. This single appointment gave me everything I needed, on all levels. I still remember my first experience as a patient of Osteopathy, and getting on the table myself. And as I continued to immerse myself in the world of Osteopathy, I was immediately drawn to the ability to heal people with my hands. I quickly discovered hands-on work is what truly lights me up. Realizing this, and feeling inspired by what I knew about the human body, I felt compelled to follow a path aligned with my values. I eventually began working as a chiropractic assistant and saw the true power physical touch can have. By this time, I had already been a dancer and yoga instructor for several years.

In Happy Bones, Doc goes from a somewhat one-dimensional superman to a complex character.You don’t have to accept living in pain for the rest of your life. These touches make this otherwise ordinary story one of the best and add to Doc’s motivation for “retiring” after Up From Earth’s Center. Dent has Doc pushing himself to the limit, testing whether or not he still has it. Right after this great scene, Doc takes charge of a seemingly hopeless situation, he dives off a 100 foot cliff, swings from tree to tree like Tarzan with Hannah on his back. This is great stuff! And it sets up the rest of the book where Doc pushes himself to the limit in scene after scene.
These seem minor but they set up a startling revelation in Chapter 9! Pages 83-85 (Bantam) are remarkable! After being caught by surprise by some thugs, Doc feels ashamed because he should have been ready and is plague by self-doubt, wondering if some part of his mental ability might be slipping and how he can reconcile that with his love for adventure. Doc needs a rope to climb a wall, he makes a mistake trying to escape.
Also he is roughed up by Hannah - the female lead - and experiences pain like he never did before. Here is a poignant insight into Doc’s character that one simply does not find in the earlier books. 25-26), Doc is also humanized by (what is for me the first though I haven’t read the books in order)his admission that his abilities make him uncomfortable and how he hadn’t thought much about them when he was younger but does now that he is more mature.
Early on in Chapter 2 (pg.17 of the Bantam) Dent gives us a description of Doc that emphasizes that his greatness stems from “personality and character” rather than ability. This one was written in ’43 and Doc is not the all-powerful Doc of old. Having just finished this one, I think it IS memorable not so much for the story, which is only mildly interesting, but for the subtle touches Dent uses throughout the novel. This one has become something of a “grail book” as it is the last of the Bantam singles.
