review 1: A therapist, Grace, finds a man in the snowy woods, a man who has tried to commit suicide. She saves him and gets involved in his life. Meanwhile, she has a teenage patient, Annie, who runs away and becomes an actress. We also hear about Grace's ex, also a therapist, Mitch, who is deeply affected by events that happen while he's working in Canada's north and while in Rwanda. The stories off all three are told in various timelines, back and forth, crossing paths at times, so it's a bit off putting on one level. Annie's story really is separate from the rest and doesn't really return to the lives of the others so it's a bit odd that it's there after the initial involvement. Overall, though, it's not bad.
review 2: A ridiculous storyline! Books about therapists ... moreare hard to swallow in the first place because "we" are so often portrayed as heinously unethical. This one is a shining example of the beating therapists get in most forms of media. I can't believe it has been nominated for awards. There are plenty of fine writers out there who can craft stories that invite me to suspend disbelief; acknowledge one of them instead. less
