You’ll finish wanting a sequel. Dan Mulhern, J.D., Former First Gentleman of Michigan

It’s 1974 and Dr. Dorothy Morrissey becomes the first female psychologist at St. Lawrence Asylum in Lansing, Michigan.

Dorothys patients mirror her emotional issues as they draw her into their often-chaotic lives. Thomass flair for drama as a cross-dressing homosexual with bi-polar makes Dorothy laugh as much as he makes her cry. Dorothy wrestles with an inexplicable aversion to George who had been remanded to St. Lawrence after pleading Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity. Ruths post-partum psychiatric break threatens to draw Dorothy in with her, and Marcella, labeled as borderline frustrates Dorothy’s efforts to keep her from self-harm.

As good as Dorothy is at holding and interpreting her patients past traumas, she resists looking at her own, causing a strain on her relationship with Kenneth. It seems Dorothy has no problem saving her patients… but can she save herself?
