We are always seeking ourselves.

An eastern mystic, a western psychic, and a broken man who falls in love with them both at a holy, magnetic mountain. More than an unusual love story, Jonas and the Mountain: A Metaphysical Love Story is a quest for the deepest truth, an excursion into the nature of reality.

Jonas has been living a half-life since he lost his marriage, his college teaching position, and his best friend all at once. In his darkest moment, he hears a voice in his head, and strange poems start to come to him. Curious and open to exploration, he joins a friend who is traveling to Mt. Arunachala in South India. There Jonas meets the guru D, who shows him a direct path to enlightenment, and Anamika, an oddly familiar woman who explains the voice and poems and reveals yet another reality of multiple dimensions and partner selves. Jonas seeks to reconcile D’s and Anamika’s philosophies to find what is true with a capital “T,” as he struggles to resolve the pain in his past and the surprising ways it appears in his present.

This is a journey into the heart of it all.

Reviews

An enchanting odyssey into longing and love—for one’s beloved teacher, one’s soul mate, and ultimately, one’s Self. Accompany Jonas as he climbs his spiritual summit and inspires you to do the same. — Gina Mazza, author of Everything Matters, Nothing Matters

Jonas and the Mountain is a deeply reassuring book. In clear, often crystalline prose, Janis Harper chronicles the lives of both seeker and guru. As a character observes, “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” If you are ready, this is the novel for you. —Grant Buday, author of Orphans of Empire
