Synopsis

Therapist Jacqueline M. Dierks has delivered a gift to everyone searching for joy, contentment, and a terrific novel. In What About Me? A Novel Approach to Personal Growth, we meet Samantha, a woman of thirty who has spent her life trying to please her family. With a manipulative, passive-aggressive mother and a father who disappears into silence and alcohol, her need for love and acceptance is crippling. She turns to Maggie, a therapist who guides Samantha toward awareness. In addition to her moving novel, Dr. Dierks offers worksheets through which readers can explore their own emotional patterns and needs. The novel shifts from therapy sessions, in which Maggie assigns an exercise (available to readers in an appendix) that her patient must complete during the week, and Samantha’s daily life, in which she puts these new-found exercises into practice. This self-help format is an important adjunct to a very moving and powerful story about a woman’s journey toward self-discovery
