Book Description

Sophie Marks needs help! Renny, her boyfriend, abandons her in a time of crisis and her widowed mother has become a femme fatale, acquiring a lover on the Internet who may be spending all her money. Sophie can no longer depend on her girlfriends for guidance, so, psychologist "Dr. K" comes to the rescue. Dr. Robert Kisselstine, insightful and compassionate, is as bland and beige as his office, but he has some remarkable secrets of his own. He asks Sophie to keep a journal and the result is Shrink Wrapped, a humorous, irreverent love story. So much drama! Sophie's witty journal entries chronicle the ups and downs of her life, including an alarming discovery about her newest boyfriend, an explosive family secret revealed under hypnosis and her mother's sexy tango competitions with her Latin lover-plus two weddings, which generate their own momentous revelations. Meanwhile, Sophie wonders: does she really have to agree with Dr. K's theories? Can he be right about her? Sometimes the very person who's supposed to help you actually complicates things. Join Sophie on her remarkable, amusing journey to find love in a world of messy relationships and surprising twists.

Book Description

In a bible belt midwestern town where corporal punishment was seen as positive parenting, Michael Grossman's teachers sent him to see a Freudian psychoanalyst at age 7 -- the first in a parade of therapies that would include Rogerian bear-hugs, Gestalt dream analysis, Rolfing, Bioenergetics and even LSD. Sitting beside the author on a succession of "shrink's" couches the reader follows his progress through one defense after another until he finally achieves a joyful capacity to care for others. Untangling the complex, sometimes abusive family relationships that enmeshed his Midwestern boyhood in the mid-20th century, the author finally uncovers fundamental truths that lead to a profound transformation. By turns funny, poignant and shocking, Shrinkwrapped is a story of hope, of growing insight and ultimately of love reborn.

Book Description

Boston P.I. Sunny Randall goes on the road to protect a bestselling author—and uncovers a world of dark secrets—in the new novel by the Grand Master. Melanie Joan Hall is a bestselling author in a bind. Her publisher needs her to tour on behalf of her latest blockbuster, and Melanie Joan needs a bodyguard-cum-escort to protect her from an overbearing ex-husband whose presence unnerves her to the point of hysteria. Sunny’s cool demeanor, cop background, and P.I. smarts are an instant balm for the older woman. Sunny begins to sense that Melanie Joan’s ex—a psychotherapist—is not your basic stalker, and when an incident at a book signing leaves the ex bloodied and the author unconscious, it’s clear the stakes are high. Having decided that the only way to crack the case is from the inside, Sunny enters therapy, only to discover some disturbing truths about herself . . . while putting her life on the line. Gripping, nuanced, and filled with Parker’s signature dialogue and psychological insight, Shrink Rap is a winner.
