I am in a serious funk about my life achievements, my career and the state of my country (USA). I'm also in mid-life crisis territory. I'm looking for novels that people have read that helped them get "back on the horse" by inspiring them. I am not looking for a self-help book.
An example I'd like to share: when I was single and having a terrible time dating, I read "I Love Dick" by Kris Krause (I highly recommend this book and also the TV show based on it). The author shared her own most humiliating and frustrating romantic experience, and reading how she got herself back up was inspiring to me and really helped me.
Thanks for reading.

This is a children’s book but none the less I recommend it. It’s called tuck everlasting and it’s a beautiful book.

Try *The Chaperone* by Laura Moriarty. Doesn’t sugar coat Depression/Dust Bowl, but main character triumphs.
