The Last Word

You receive an elegant invitation to a smart little cocktail buffet, held at an elegant downtown club, hosted by your former therapist. Do you go? One important detail: your therapist is dead. What would you do? What ensues is the recollection of a handful of patients of their therapeutic journey with psychotherapist Drew Carter.

After listening in session for thousands of hours over twenty years, Drew takes a clinical hour of his own to acknowledge his patients, their hard work, and the unique and profound nature of the patient/therapist relationship.

L. Flick Hatcher has enjoyed careers in finance, marketing and branding, and, most recently, a twenty-year journey as a practicing psychotherapist in the San Francisco Bay area. He is married to his husband, Lou, and they live in San Francisco and Sonoma County. This is his first novel.
