The Road to Oracle

By John Ash

The Road to Oracle is a literary psychological novel about identity, memory, and the long work of becoming whole.

Set along the California coast and anchored by a remote West Coast retreat devoted to healing and transformation, the novel follows twins Kate and Nate Windsor as they confront the unseen fractures that have shaped their lives. Kate is a photojournalist whose lens has taught her how to witness the world while avoiding her own interior truths. Nate, an architect, searches for order and coherence, even as his inner life resists clean lines and stable foundations.

As the siblings are drawn into a community that encourages radical self-inquiry, buried histories surface and long-suppressed voices begin to press forward. What emerges is not a simple path to healing, but a demanding confrontation with memory, creativity, and the cost of survival. Photography, architecture, and the body itself become languages through which the characters attempt to understand who they have been-and who they might still become.

Moving between intimate interior landscapes and the expansive physical beauty of the coast, The Road to Oracle explores how identity is shaped, divided, and sometimes reassembled. It is a novel about the courage required to listen inward, the peril of resisting that call, and the quiet hope that comes from choosing to face what has been hidden
