The Clarion Review says, "Harrie Rose's debut novel brilliantly
explores the causes and effects of depression and anxiety, as well
as how early experiences shape one's life for good or ill...Rose
balances the intricacies of the therapist-patient relationship with
a fascinating yarn about a woman recognizing the contradictory
influences on her life and ultimately coming into her
own....Therapy is recommended for anyone who enjoys a meaty read
with a strong female protagonist." Written in a vivid first person
narrative that sweeps the reader along, this bold novel introduces
Barbara, a 52 year old woman who has it all. So why is she sunk in
an abyss of depression? Barbara is so real that, as one reader
said, "I'd love to get in a car and drive along the country roads
until I find Barbara's house, so we can chat over coffee." Delving
into the complexities of psychiatry, from its necessity to its
folly, the author recounts Barbara's journey to a realization of
her true worth. But is this because of her therapist or despite
him? What are his true motives? the moral and ethical issues
Barbara ultimately faces make excellent fodder for discussions.
This is a superb choice for book clubs, but also for individuals.
Despite the media's message that you must fight old age, Barbara
proves that maturity itself has its own beauty, both inner and
outer. Even the young admire her for her warmth, wisdom, and guts.
Like the flowers in the gardens she grows, Barbara is reborn after
a winter of despair.
