Readers will learn from Teri Winfield's therapy sessions and memory flashbacks that she was raised in a dysfunctional single-parent family headed by a troubled and emotionally abusive mother. In her youth, she was a shy and introverted girl with very poor self-esteem. Consequently, she was vulnerable to any personal attention that she received from others. That being so, after leaving high school, Teri began a live-in relationship with a manipulative, self-absorbed drug dealer who pulled her into his criminal business and life style. This led to her eventual arrest and incarceration where her shy and introverted demeanor was slowly transformed into an angry and combative personality. After Teri's release from prison, she was lost and afraid, but she continued to cover those feelings with anger and aggression until she finally feared that she would be returned to prison. In her efforts to change herself and her self-destructive lifestyle, she finally seeks clinical treatment with a private psychotherapist who eventually gains her trust and begins leading her on a lengthy personal journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Reader's join Teri's life-altering journey when she has been in treatment for three years. They will get to know her friends very well, especially her best friend of all -- her beloved Bichon Friese dog. Will Teri complete her journey and become the person she desperately wants to be, or succumb again to the forces that seem beyond her personal control? It's a bumpy ride indeed, beset with successes and failures, and sprinkled this curious mysteries.
Autorenporträt
Robyn G. Wall is a retired clinical social worker and psychotherapist who lives in Austin, Texas with his Korean wife, Younnie, her cellist-playing son, Daniel, and her retired parents, Jin and Maeho. His 43-year professional career was dedicated to the clinical treatment of individuals, couples, and families who struggled bravely with emotional and psychological problems. It was a work that he found always challenging, ever rewarding, and often fascinating. The fascination of his job came mostly via the complex and remarkable clients with whom he and his colleagues worked, and it was these clients who inspired him to pursue his long-held avocation of literary writing. Even though his writings are fictional, they are stories that convey universal truths about life itself and illuminate both the fragility and resilience of the human psyche.
