This Book Will Save Your Life — A.M. Homes

Richard Novak is a modern-day Everyman, a middle-aged divorce trading stocks out of his home in the surreal promised land of Los Angeles. Having done such a good job getting his life under control, Richard now needs no one -- except his trainer, nutritionist, and housekeeper. He is functionally dead and doesn't even notice until two incidents -- an attack of intense pain that lands him in the emergency room and the discovery of an expanding sinkhole outside his house -- conspire to hurl him back into the world. This Book Will Save Your Life is a vivid, uplifting, and revealing story about compassion, transformation, and what can happen if you are willing to lose yourself and open up to the world around you.
