For many years Margret Berendes worked as a psychiatrist, not only in private practice but also at a mental health clinic in one of the poorest sections of Washington, D.C. Set against three authentic backgrounds—a mental health clinic in Washington, D.C., a Benedictine monastery in New Mexico, and an Inuit settlement in the Canadian Arctic—the story of a woman psychiatrist and a most unusual patient unfolds with suspence and imagination. The patient is a forty-year-old, highly educated black man, a Vietnam veteran, who spends most of his time in city libraries, but at night exists homeless on the street. Ordered by a mental heath commission to undergo mandatory treatment, he meets his psychiatrist, a thirty-five-year-old woman, who is supposed to see him on a regular basis. It soon turns out that her life is mysteriously interwoven with his. It takes ten years of unraveling before the secret of this obscure connection reveals itself.
