About this audiobook
Ruth Hartland is the director of a trauma unit, a psychotherapist with years of experience, wise and respected by her peers. But professional skill is no guard against private grief. The mother of grown twins, she is haunted by the fact that her beautiful, difficult, fragile son Tom, a boy who never "fit in," disappeared a year and a half earlier. She cannot give up hope of finding him, but feels she is living a kind of half-life, waiting for him to return. Enter a new patient, Dan, who looks exactly like her missing son. She is determined to help him, but her own complicated feelings cloud her professional judgement. Boundaries she would never have crossed with another patient are crossed. And before long, events spiral out of control…

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A moving fictional account of a therapist's home life and her work with traumatised clients, some of whom have EUPD/BPD. Familiar techniques and dilemmas for anyone 'in the trade' over a background of anxiety and domestic issues. I'm avoiding any plot spoilers. I think that the story will also grip anyone without a healthcare background, as long as they are interested in human interactions.
I will definitely read the author's other fictional works.
The narrator also gave a splendid performance in my opinion - UK accent.
