Back Cover:
Sixteen and a half year old Annie has attempted suicide. We need to know why. But we also need to know why the therapist is taking such an apparently unhealthy interest in her. Annie’s mother, Kim, is a dizzy, New-Age-Butterfly-Brained person who has little perception of the real world. She is frequently absent and leaves Annie and her brother Nick to fend for themselves.
Meanwhile, in ‘hearing’ the innermost thoughts of psychologist Mark Forrester, we often know more about him than even his personal supervising therapist, Olivia.
(An intriguing back-story emerges …) Olivia stresses the professional necessity of adhering to an ‘arms-length’ policy with all clients … Will he always do this? Or in the final outcome will the therapist’s heart overrule his head? …
But Annie must be our main concern for, as Mark already knows, 1 in 10 of those who attempt suicide get it right second time around … Twists and turns abound, as the story rapidly gathers pace, then, in the final page explodes with a revelation that leaves the imagination of the reader running wild long after the story has ended …

(This story is so scened and set that it could be played as a theatre piece, radio or TV Play)

Guide for Readers:
1: ‘…’ denotes silence or, when extended, the passing of time.
2: Words enclosed by [ ] indicate the thoughts of the narrator Mark and, later, the thoughts of his therapist Olivia.
