The Only True Wisdom

 

The Only True Wisdom is a psychological literary novel that explores trauma, redemption, and the haunting question: If we could confront the truth of our deepest regrets, would we find peace—or uncover something far more devastating?

Julian Ashbourne had built a perfect life with his beloved wife, Beth, and their daughter, Maya, in their grand lakeside home on New York's Lake Shadowpine. But his world shattered when a tragic accident took them both. Over the next twelve years, consumed by guilt and alcoholism, Julian spirals into a purgatory of self-destruction, alienating his new wife and young daughter.

When his suffering culminates in a suicide attempt, Julian awakens twelve years earlier—days before Beth and Maya’s deaths—with vivid memories of their loss and the broken life that followed. As past and future begin to collide, Julian must unravel whether his memories are a premonition, an uncanny dream, or evidence of an impossible reality: that he has somehow returned to rewrite his fate.

Haunted by the shadows of his choices, Julian is drawn toward truths he has spent a lifetime running from. The Only True Wisdom is a powerful meditation on grief, memory, and the unrelenting search for meaning in a universe where the past and future may not be as distant as they seem.

"Whether any part of his life was a dream or not, the pain was real. Stripped of all certainty and terrified that he might be going insane, the only thing he knew for sure was that something had to change. He couldn't live through those twelve years again—he had to find another way."

"The world sold materialism, a palliative for every form of anxiety. And how ridiculous it seemed now, seeing himself and every other human as condensates of an apparitional energy. In its crudest form, materialism treated the behavior of heads, ignoring tails; particles, ignoring waves; the measurable, ignoring the immeasurable; the explainable, ignoring the inexplainable; the logical, ignoring the imaginative; knowledge, ignoring faith."
