From Sandy Gingras, the creator of the “How To Live” series, this is the story of the Uh-oh Heart that “lived far away and safe-safe tired of the chance-chance world.” It is for all of us with uh-oh hearts fearful of growing and risking and loving.
This little book celebrates the forces that pull and push us out of ourselves — the anti-fear, life forces that change us and, in the end, save us. The Uh-oh Heart wants the world to be safe. It doesn’t want anything it can lose. Yet the world will not comply. It sing and pulls and knocks on the Uh-oh Heart’s door, offering itself in all of its ambiguity and complexity — love and loss, happy and sad, all bound together.
Like any heart, the Uh-oh Heart has to choose with almost every step of its journey — between life and fear…between risk and fear…between growth and fear…between love and fear. It’s as simple and as difficult as that and what’s at stake is the course of its life.
Follow the Uh-oh Heart as it takes one wobble-wobble step after another. In its unlikely, neurotic way, the Uh-oh Heart makes a path that is both inspirational and transforming.

For the lovelorn comes this achingly cute gift book of hope. Sandy Gingras's text and sweet illustrations tell the tale of the Uh-Oh Heart, a woman wounded from the travails of love and relationships. In the story, the Uh-Oh Heart finds love, loses it again, goes to the deepest depths, and then learns to appreciate and love all the other parts of life which makes her open again to real romantic love. — New Age Retailer

Excerpt:
The world kept on with its sing-sing song until the Uh-oh Heart was sick-sick of it. "Stop," the Uh-oh Heart said, "stop." But the world would not. "Why?" the Uh-oh Heart yelled to the sky-sky: "Why does the moon pull-pull? Why does love change-change? Why does the world sing-sing if it's all for nothing?" But the sky answered not. And although the Uh-oh Heart could not hear it, the sky was full of quiet-quiet moving things, answers with their own wings…
