I’m a writer, meditation guide, and lifelong reader living in a village
in southwest France, with a forest behind my house and a very long reading list. I’m also the author of Quote Therapy — stories of healing and hope inspired by timeless quotes, poems and life in France.
Book Quote Therapy grew from a simple observation: that at every turning point of
my own life, it was a writer who found me first — before the therapist,
before the friend, before the morning felt manageable again.
Literature doesn’t fix anything. But it finds you in the dark, holds up a
lamp, and says: someone else has been here too. That turns out to be
more useful than most of us expect.
