An award-winning novel for anyone who's ever stumbled and wondered how to start again. George Sistern thought he was chasing love-but one con artist's scam shatters his trust, drains his savings, and sends him spiraling into pain, guilt, and a desire for revenge. In a desperate search for meaning, he turns to Mildred Markowitz, a brilliant psychologist and philosopher whose fearless honesty cuts through his emotional turmoil. Their conversations take him far beyond the scam that ruined him, diving into profound questions about life, morality, self-awareness, and what it truly means to heal. As George plays piano at Mildred's gatherings to pay for his sessions, he's drawn into a world of sharp debates, unexpected allies, and life lessons that challenge everything he believes about justice, revenge, and the human condition. Thought-provoking, emotional, and transformative, Dialogues with the Wise Woman is a gripping, psychological journey for readers who crave books with depth, meaning, and the kind of story that lets you discover life's answers for yourself.
