This is the question author Ernest de l’Autin explores in his debut novel, "Reach to the Wounded Healer." He tells the story of Paul de la Moret, a troubled young man striving to overcome a childhood trauma and lead a normal life in spite of disjointed visions that include a Lady and disturbing premonitions about friends and family. Eventually realizing the futility of his efforts, Paul’s life becomes a quest - a quest to answer the questions in his visions. Guided by the writings of St. John of the Cross and Dark Night of the Soul, Paul begins a search to discover the identity of the Lady, and a pilgrimage to quiet the turmoil in his own soul.
In a tale that spans decades and continents, Ernest de l’Autin weaves a spellbinding tale of friendship, life, mystery, discovery and spirituality. "Reach to the Wounded Healer" is a novel that delivers for those seeking only entertainment, as well as those on a spiritual quest of their own.
