Synopsis

Dolores Miller was living the American dream. She and her husband Lawrence lived in a small Southern California town with their two children. She was an elementary school teacher and Lawrence was a charismatic high school music teacher, but their idyllic life is suddenly disrupted when several high school girls accused Lawrence of making inappropriate sexual advances toward them and he is accused of being a sexual predator.The story focuses on Dolores, whose life is thrown completely out of her control. Like the passenger in a car driven straight into an embankment by its reckless driver, Dolores becomes little more than collateral damage. Despite her doubts about her husband's innocence, she is compelled to defend him in order to protect her family. She knows that he is a narcissistic man who loves the accolades and admiration of his young (especially female) students, but would he go so far as to seduce his teenage charges? Dolores takes us on an emotional whiplash of a ride as we feel her anguish and wonder whether Lawrence is guilty of being a sex offender or is he the victim of malicious teenage gossip.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

I turned 75 when I decided to turn my attention to writing psychological fiction. During the course of fifty-plus years as a practicing psychologist I have been privileged to enter the lives of countless people as their psychotherapist. Their lives and struggles revealed profound truths about the human condition. Many of their stories have provided themes for my books. Sometimes a common issue rather than a particular individual stimulated the stories. More than once, their stories resonated with my own life and helped me to gain clarity and perspective. I am profoundly grateful for the insights provided by those entrusted me with their stories and permitted me to join them on their journey of self-discovery. I was born and raised in The Bronx in New York City, attended City College of New York, and earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Kansas. I have been a practicing psychologist for more than fifty years in the Los Angeles area. I have been married to my wife, Barbara, for over thirty years, have three grown children, five grandchildren, and a pooch named Charlie. So far, I have published eight books and have written several screenplays. I love to cook, take pictures, work in my wood shop, and exercise.
