By Thomas, Bev2019., Adult, Random House Canada Call No: MYS Fic Tho Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A suspenseful, enthralling story of a mother who is a psychotherapist, her missing son, a patient who reminds her of him, and the boundaries they cross. Ruth Hartland is the director of a trauma therapy unit in London. A psychotherapist with twenty years of experience, she is highly respected in her field. But her family life tells another story: her marriage has fractured and her daughter, Caroline, has moved far away to Australia. Most devastatingly, Caroline's twin brother, Tom, has disappeared and has had no contact with anyone for two years. Ruth's fragile son has always been sensitive and anxious, the opposite of his cheerful and resilient sister. Is he hiding? Is he dead? How did she fail him, and how can she find him after all this time? Then Ruth is assigned a new patient, a young man who bears a striking resemblance to Tom. She is determined to work with Dan, to become immersed in his trauma and help him emerge from it, but grief and guilt cloud her judgment. Professional boundaries, once inviolable, are transgressed. When events spiral out of control, Ruth must confront the unthinkable and reckon with those who truly matter in her life. Deeply insightful, with riveting twists and turns, A Good Enough Mother is a brilliant and heartfelt exploration of the responsibilities and limitations of motherhood."-- .
