About this ebook
The character of Anne is so well drawn, that by the end of the book, she feels like a friend or someone you know and are rooting for. The depiction of therapy is fascinating — it's obvious that Sharon Baltman knows of what she speaks.
Maureen Jennings, author of the Murdoch Mysteries
An eccentric seventy-year-old is obsessed with changing her life — or ending it. She bumbles through mysterious rituals with a talk-therapist, explodes secrets, re-jigs behaviours and embraces bliss in the arms of a woman who was right in front of her for fifty years.
A wry, empathetic portrait of a character's unsparing trek to the heart of the matter in matters of the heart. Ted Staunton, author of Who I'm Not and Jump Cut
Anne is authentic, cranky and funny. Baltman does a great job of preventing the therapist from overwhelming the story, yet shows her value. The end of the beautiful tale gave me chills.
Sharon Gernon, retired psychotherapist
Sharon Baltman
Sharon Baltman began writing creatively at age 45, using a manual typewriter during a year-long stay on an Israeli kibbutz in an attempt to win a computer in a writing contest.

ESCAPE FROM THE BEDSIDE won a Silver Medal for Best Non-Fiction Canada-East in the Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY). It also received the Gold Star Award for best cover design on an ebook by The Book Designer.com in October 2013.

1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A story weaving suffering, survival and healing, yet filled with triumph.
In her debut novel, Sharon Baltman takes us on Anne’s journey of human connection, filled with both despair and hope.
Hers is a story of determination in every aspect of her life, giving us all the courage to find our own ‘Oasis’…
