Diana, Herself: An Allegory of Awakening by Martha Beck
In this tale of transformation, an average woman suddenly finds herself leaving everything familiar and dropping into a magical world where miracles mix with the mundane. The story follows Diana into California’s trackless Sierras Oscuras National Forest, where she journeys with a world-famous life coach until the quest takes turn and she finds herself alone and dying”until she meets up with a spirit animal (which may or may not be an illusion). Liz Gilbert called this book “everything.”
