When Trixie Callender opened her Lavender House Therapy Centre, with hopes for a profitable, sweetly-scented, calming environment, she could not have foreseen the impact to be made by a troubled and troublesome client. The effect on the therapists, their families and friends , causes ripples that fragment relationships and results in some suspicious deaths.
An institution founded partly on unsupported theories and practices, in an atmosphere of faith and hope, reflects a larger picture where half-truths and absolute lies ease the social wheels.
Now retired with an MA in Education I was head teacher of a Special School on the Isle of Wight, UK. I began to write fiction and have had several short stories published. Interested in debates about alternative therapies, I thought there was room for a black comedy with a Therapy Centre as the focus.
