G. Frank Lawlis developed the fable in The Cure — about a
wolf who consults other
animals for a cure for a mysterious disease — as a way to help people
with cancer confront their
fears, solve the mystery of the healthcare system and become active
participants in their own healing.
Reviews
“G. Frank Lawlis has written a profound and precious healing story.
The powerful symbols and
animal dialogue create a mythic experience that exceeds the likes of
Jonathan Livingston Seagull.”
— Angeles Arrien, Ph.D., cultural anthropologist and author of
The Fourfold Way
“When I read The Cure, I had a great feeling for the rest of
the day ... I would recommend it to anyone who is going through the
process of disease or has someone special to them going through
it. It is a story of success in finding oneself through the journey of
disease.”
— Michael Samuels, M.D., author of Seeing with the
Mind’s Eye
