Review:
Mote's 18 vignettes are true stories of love, loss, trauma, struggle and recovery that are as instructive as they are mesmerizing and eloquently written. It's like sitting next to Mote as she listens to and counsels her patients -- not as voyeurs, but as sympathetic observers to the tangled mess of life. Clients' identities are protected so the reader can revel in the deft understanding that Mote's therapy requires. --Raising Arizona Kids Magazine
