520    "Following the death of his little sister and the 
       publication of his New York Times bestselling memoir The 
       Little Way of Ruthie Leming, Dreher found himself living 
       in the small community of Starhill, Louisiana where he 
       grew up. But instead of the fellowship he hoped to find, 
       he discovered that fault lines within his family had 
       deepened. Dreher spiraled into depression and a stress-
       related autoimmune disease. Doctors told Dreher that if he
       didn't find inner peace, he would destroy his health. Soon
       after, he came across The Divine Comedy in a bookstore and
       was enchanted by its first lines, which seemed to describe
       his own condition. In the months that followed Dante 
       helped Dreher understand the mistakes and mistaken beliefs
       that had torn him down and showed him that he had the 
       power to change his life. Dreher knows firsthand the 
       solace and strength that can be found in Dante's great 
       work, and distills its wisdom for those who are lost in 
       the dark wood of depression, struggling with failure (or 
       success), wrestling with a crisis of faith, alienated from
       their families or communities, or otherwise enduring the 
       sense of exile that is the human condition. Inspiring, 
       revelatory, and packed with penetrating spiritual, moral, 
       and psychological insights, How Dante Can Save Your Life 
       is a book for people, both religious and secular, who find
       themselves searching for meaning and healing. Dante told 
       his patron that he wrote his poem to bring readers from 
       misery to happiness. It worked for Rod Dreher. Dante saved
       Rod Dreher's life--and in this book, Dreher shows you how 
       Dante can save yours."--Amazon.com
