Therapy by Harrie Rose shows women that getting older isn't something to fight

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (MMD Newswire) September 8, 2010 -- Written in a first-person narrative, Therapy: A Novel by Harrie Rose hopes to take readers on a the sojourn of Barbara, a 52-year-old woman who is deeply depressed.

As Barbara undergoes therapy, it is clear she has been sitting on a volcano of suppressed memories, memories that reveal why she puts up with so much and help her to finally see her relationship with her mother and her husband clearly.
When her therapist, 35-year-old Alex, starts pressuring her to leave her apparently perfect husband his motives are questioned-is he concerned with therapy, or does he enjoy the power he has over patients? To complicate the situation, Barbara feels more and more attracted to Alex and keeps looking for clues that he feels as she does.

Rose hopes readers will be able to relate to Barbara's revelations and growth as her world opens up like the flower gardens she cultivates. Despite her age, which many people think means the end of change, Barbara learns to find that happiness can come to older women. She also finds that people value her friendship and that her wrinkles don't mean the end of relationships. "Maturity has its own attractions," notes Rose.

"Harrie Rose's debut novel brilliantly explores the causes and effects of depression and anxiety, as well as how early experiences shape one's life for good or ill..." writes ForeWord Clarion Reviews. "Rose balances the intricacies of the therapist-patient relationship with a fascinating yarn about a woman recognizing the contradictory influences on her life and ultimately coming into her own ...Therapy is recommended for anyone who enjoys a meaty read with a strong female protagonist."

Rose believes Therapy would be an excellent selection for book clubs as it raises many questions for discussion.
Therapy: A Novel is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
