A psychotherapist with twenty years of experience, she is highly respected in her field. But her family life tells another story: her marriage has fractured and her grown daughter, Caroline, has moved far away to Australia. Most devastatingly, Caroline's twin brother, Tom, has disappeared and has had no contact with anyone for two years. Ruth's fragile son has always been sensitive and anxious, the opposite of his cheerful and resilient sister. She cannot give up hope of finding him, but feels she is living a kind of half-life, waiting for him to return.  \u003cbr\u003e     Then Ruth is assigned a new patient, a young man who bears a striking resemblance to Tom. Ruth is determined to help Dan, but her own complicated feelings and family history cloud her judgement--and professional boundaries, once inviolable, are transgressed. When events spiral out of control, Ruth must confront the unthinkable and reckon with those who truly matter in her life.\u003cbr\u003e     Deeply insightful, with riveting twists and turns, \u003ci\u003eA Good Enough Mother\u003c\/i\u003e is a brilliant and heartfelt exploration of the responsibilities and limitations of motherhood.","brand":"Bev Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":42579607027872,"sku":"9780735276710","price":9.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/products\/BNCImageAPI_16898859-294c-40a4-936f-5ffb18333460.jpg?v=1663554771","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9780735276710","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
