Side Effects

Sophie was lost, but she didn't know... From those first words that her narrator speaks Myrna Brown has written another achingly rich tale of a woman searching for true meaning in her life. In Side Effects we experience her guilty childhood history, with an unloving mother and a pampered sister and brothers, and we learn of her hope-filled marriage, with a rigid husband. We begin to slowly understand the reasons for her breakdown. At end we are able to bask in the love she seeks-not from some unseen spiritual source she had faith in but from her father, her sanitarium attendant, and at last, a sensitive compatriot. This is a story of a woman poetically told by an author who makes you believe the truth of her pain, healing, and ecstasy....
