About the book

When professional lines blur, what side will you be on?

Psychotherapist Beth Linn is trying to stay focused on her work in the town where she grew up. But she’s becoming increasingly triangulated between clients in a situation she senses could become deadly and her own very personal drama.

Kim St. Clair’s thrilling debut novel takes us deep into the experiences of being both therapist and client. We enter the uncomfortable spaces of the profession—the isolation of confidentiality and the weight of possessing information that cannot be shared. We witness the vulnerability of being a client and how difficult it can be to trust a therapist. Ultimately, this gifted author allows us to see how beautiful—and terrifying—it is to expose our pain to a professional we hope possesses the skills and compassion to realize what we need. Once drawn into this skillfully interwoven story, we can’t help but emerge ready to listen to the tiny voices inside our heads that lead us out of fear and into freedom.
