What Is Real? 

 A Book Club & Reflection Guide

This guide is an invitation to slow down, listen more deeply, and journey beneath the surface of the story.

Created to accompany the novel What Is Real?, this Book Club & Reflection Guide offers a gentle, spacious way to explore the themes of loss and longing, imagination and memory, truth and belonging. It is a companion to walk with alone or in community.

Inside, you’ll find reflective prompts, open-ended questions, quotes from the novel, and creative art exercises. All are invitations designed to spark conversation, awaken creative imagination, align the heart to What is Real, while allowing meaning emerge in its own time. 

The guide can be used privately for journaling and creative reflection, or gathered around with others as a book club, classroom, therapy group, or circle of friends. Whether you are sitting quietly with a notebook, sketching what cannot yet be spoken, or listening to others share their stories, this guide encourages a different way of reading, one that values presence over haste, and encourages curiosity and deep listening, and invites the heart to reflect and ponder.

This is a space to pause.

To notice what stirs.

To follow the quiet messages sent our way every moment of our lives.

There is no right pace. No required order.

Only an invitation to ask, together or alone:
What Is Real?
