When You Don’t Want to Make the Same Mistake as Your Mother…
Follow Julia Longley on an unprepared journey of self discovery, healthy giving to others, and truly finding your purpose in life.
Julia thinks she has found the perfect partner in Nick, a handsome, charming, and successful star reporter for the newspaper where Julia is a photojournalist.
But, when her coverage of a tragic and bloody accident leaves her in a temporary state of blindness, Nick is anything but loving and supportive.
When faced with Nick’s lack of being the dream partner, Julia has choices: stay with Nick and a career burdening her with physical symptoms, go back to school and get a degree in counseling, or try finding a compromise between those.
Soon Julia finds herself juggling the demands of finishing her education along with planning their wedding, while Nick resorts to anger and manipulation to compromise with the dictates of his very imposing socialite mother. How long before Nick treats Julia this way? Julia wonders, as she gives in time and time again.
Part of her school assignment lands Julia at the county mental health free clinic as an intern, where her first mission is to learn to moderate a group therapy session. Nothing in any textbook, however, has prepared Julia for The Headshrinker’s Brigade.
What Julia learns from this motley band of suffering souls gives her the strength to make some tough decisions in her effort to find love and something even more important. Herself.
