The Session

About the Book

The Session is about the birth, death, and rebirth of relationships. Characters find themselves in cycles of destruction, sinking in the darkness of the ego. Dr. River Meadows, a marital therapist, finds herself working with a couple she has an unnerving attraction to. There is a secret that binds them all together while threatening to tear them all apart. While facilitating healing for the Riley-Buttons, she realizes her own marriage is falling apart. She must now decide between the new love of her life and the love of her profession. You know this story. It is wrought with relationship with others and, most importantly, relationship with the self. Dr. Meadows encounters others that feed her spirit, helping her become acquainted with her heart. The Session reminds us that no encounter is by accident—love will find a way, and we must seek the light within to give it to others. Be light. Give light. Find love.
