A therapist’s bond with a young client becomes a murder investigation

Jackie Kessler, a family therapist and child of Korean refugees, meets Amy Nguyen when the 15-year-old comes to her after a suicide attempt. Years later, Amy’s death—and a malpractice suit brought by her family—leads Jackie to work with Amy’s loved ones and former detective Allan Shaw to investigate what happened. The case places personal relationships under strain and brings trauma, loss, and prejudice into the story’s central questions. The novel connects a therapist-client relationship with a family’s search for answers, while drawing on the characters’ experiences as children of refugees and Jackie’s work with minority clients.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in family-centered fiction involving a therapist-client relationship.

Book overview

Family therapist Jackie Kessler, the child of Korean refugees, works mostly with minorities, a clientele many of her colleagues avoid. 15-year-old Amy Nguyen, the child of Vietnamese refugees, reluctantly enters Jackie's office after a suicide attempt. Their relationship grows and nurtures them both. At age 25, Amy is Seattle's newest indie rock sensation. By 30, she's dead - a suicide. Jackie's shocked - she knows this can't be true. When Amy's family sues her for malpractice, Jackie teams with her family, friends and former police detective, Allan Shaw, to prove it was murder. The investigation pushes their relationships to the edge, forcing them to confront their own traumas, losses, and prejudices.
