When Life Becomes a Dark Wood
Rod Dreher was dying from the inside out. His body had turned against him-chronic mononucleosis triggered by stress had left him bedridden, exhausted, unable to work. But the physical collapse was merely a symptom. The real disease was spiritual: a toxic stew of family resentment, unfulfilled expectations, and a homecoming that had curdled into nightmare. He'd moved his family back to rural Louisiana to help raise his late sister's children and reconnect with aging parents. Instead, he found himself trapped in childhood wounds that refused to heal. Then a rheumatologist delivered a stark diagnosis: "Leave Louisiana, or resign yourself to destroying your health." Refusing both options, Dreher stumbled into an unlikely lifeline-a 700-year-old Italian poem about hell, purgatory, and paradise. Dante's *Divine Comedy* became the map that guided him out of his personal inferno, teaching him that the way forward sometimes requires descending into darkness first.
