Hmm, I gotta agree with “Sarita” and Smith. *Laughing*, Jamey’s experience in kindergarten reminds me of one of the incidents in A Mother Speaks Out. In Flowers’ case, she refers to geniuses, but Smith’s book, A Mother Speaks Out: Why the Halls of Ivy Crumbled, notes that this affects all children. I’m editing a second edition issue that totally agrees with Sarita Flowers’ character that boredom and mediocrity threatens kids’ well-being. It does provide Alex with additional insight into his own reactions to gays and into others who are thrust into categories. And of course, everyone wants to be better than someone else, so those shrinks are really “doctors”, not like those wanna-be psychologists.Ĭash and Whitehead are a different flavor of jerks, bigoted against gay people and quick to judge. Yep, those insurance companies…they sure like to be able to quantify the bills they pay. He’s a useful conduit for Kellerman to take a whack at psychiatrists and insurance companies. That Mainwaring is such a jerk, all holier than thou. It’s so weird to read about an answering service, so ya know this is in the days before answering machines. It’s been three years since When the Bough Breaks, 1. Third in the Alex Delaware psychological thriller series set in the early 1980s and revolving around a child psychologist who helps fight crime in L.A.

Other books by this author which I have reviewed include When the Bough Breaks, Blood Test, Time Bomb

Psychological thriller in a Kindle edition that was published by Scribner on Apand has 544 pages. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review.
