A child
therapist and a mother still mourning her son’s death ten years ago. Dr. Karen
Marks has moved on since then, but her newest patient seems to be the exact
replica of her son. Suddenly, old wounds
are re-opened and pain has found its way back to her heart.
Told in a
diary narrative, story transitions between past and present. We learn that
Karen was in the middle of an affair—lying between the sheets with a man that
wasn’t her husband—when she heard about her son’s accident. On top of the
brimming guilt, Karen must also contend with allegations on her dead, gay husband.
Talk about a therapist needing a therapist.
Story was
simply written with a rooted connection to the characters. The pace was rather
slow, but the read was still fairly interesting. An okay read.
My rating: 3 stars
