Attachment Patterns. A psychological theory that addresses human relationships. Are the artist, Robert Boones' connections broken? Is he losing his mind? As his daughter, aspiring novelist, Isolde Boone, tells us, he sure doesn't think so. Yes, he recently found himself in the hospital declaring he wanted to die, but that was a moment of weakness, of post-pandemic exhaustion. He's fine now, calm, and self-possessed as always. Only the doctors don't believe him. They've insisted he enroll in a three week, out-patient, therapy program. With no choice now, Robert Boone will look at his life. In lectures and groups, he will examine his past, his unspoken fears and grief and his relationships both old and new. As daughter, Holdie says: "Anything I tell you was disclosed to me, remembered by me, surmised by me and in some cases (okay, more than some) was totally and completely made up. (By me.) Still, all of it is God's honest truth."
