Just Talking

From the author of: "The Pink Reich", "The Red Cardinals of Mary", "Beleaguered" and several other titles ---Written in a dialogue only format. --- Doctor Phillips is an accomplished psychiatrist who represents the only thread of commonality between all nine stories. Among the characters profiled is a young wife and mother who loses her entire family to a tragic accident. Repeatedly, she attempts the unthinkable only to fight her way back to a point of recovery but not all is well. --- The "Minister of Hypocrisy", as he is deemed by the press and the public, finds himself again fighting to accept his innate truth. Barely a decade has passed since he last struggled with controversy in two forms. Again, he brings scandal to his beleaguered family, his church and himself. Questioning his truth, he's uncertain if he'll sink deeper into the depths of despair or embrace the obvious reality of his life. --- Other stories include a priest who battled the demon drink; a woman whose deathbed confession tests the limits of decency but begs the question if she stole something from her child or gave them the gift of love; a wife whose decades-long marriage only finds love in its finality after she mercifully does the unthinkable. Additional stories include an accomplished politician's secret clairvoyance and a talk show host's big reveal. These stories and more take the reader on a journey of blended fact and fiction but which is which?
