The problem is that we humans complicate our lives more than necessary because of our tendency to ignore or deny the obvious.
Would you have the strength to overcome squalid living conditions, an abusive upbringing, or a debilitating physical illness? Or would those problems send you to a dark place, turn you into someone capable of heinous acts? In these six heartbreaking short stories, people must face those issues and much more.
Can a successful businessman overcome his shortcomings as a father and husband? Will a woman find a way to make life worth living again after suffering a terrible head injury at work? Can a homosexual teen rise above the bullying in his conservative town? What could possibly cause a mother to drown her own child? As each devastating story unfolds, characters explore the psychological effects of their unfortunate lives, and many crumble under the weight of their misery.
These stories encourage readers to reflect on their own struggles and ponder how the challenges of life affect their own psyches.
Lino Valdivia, PsyD, is a multilingual clinical and forensic psychologist and neuropsychologist licensed in California and Utah. He has been in private practice since 1987. Although semiretired, he still provides medical and forensic evaluations. He is also frequently called upon to offer expert testimony.
Throughout his years as a clinician, Valdivia encountered thousands of patients dealing with situations most people would find unimaginable. These short stories are rooted in his knowledge of the human mind and loosely based on his experiences in his field.
