Termination of Benefits, a tale of secrets, psychotherapy, managed care, and murder.
Compassionate Journey: Honoring Our Mothers' Stories, an anthology written with four other women offering five essays about our mothers' lives, examined with attention to the influences of society and family on the women they became, and the ways in which those influences affected their expectations of and relationships with us, their daughters. We include reflections on the process of writing by each author, as well as a guide for other women writers who might like to take a similar journey in the company of other women. Writing prompts are included, as well as questions for readers. We expect that Compassionate Journey will be published in time for Mothers Day 2018.
