Mary Ellen

By Kathy Dorsey

Poignant and touching, this novel is more than fiction; it's therapeutic. Mary Ellen's life was turned upside down on September 11, 2001, when she personally witnessed and experienced the horror of the terror attacks on the Twin Towers. A therapist herself, Mary Ellen, falls into a frazzled and forlorn mental state and recognizes that she needs help. Enlisting the aid of her trusted friend and fellow counselor, Marjorie, Mary Ellen begins to unpack the trauma of that fateful day while simultaneously unraveling the details of her own life experiences. Told uniquely from the points of view of both Mary Ellen and Marjorie, the conversations that follow reveal hurt and healing as they learn from each other how to get past life's deepest pain.
