Good Morning, Monster

There's something mesmerizing about reading a book where a therapist shares stories of patients she has treated, something that's almost like listening in on the secret lives of people. That's what Good Morning, Monster is, and the stories Gildiner shares are about five patients who move heroically toward emotional recovery, despite the gross abuses each suffered. It's a startling book, reminding us all, in the words of Plato, to be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle.
