MAKING HER DEBUT
Henny on the Couch, by Rebecca Land Soodak, is about a woman struggling to make sense of her past in order to create a meaningful future. The summary says: "Kara Caine Lawson has worked hard to become the woman she is - wife, mother and successful shop owner. Having survived a turbulent childhood, Kara understands that life could've just as easily gone another way ... and even if she isn't gliding through the trials of lost library books, entitled customers and routine date nights, at least she's not sipping a Dewar's all day like her mother did. But then Kara unexpectedly encounters paintings by her now-famous college boyfriend just as she's beginning to suspect that her daughter Henny's difficulties may be the sign of something serious, and all of her past decisions are thrown into dramatic relief." Henny on the Couch is out in April.
