David's world is as divorced from mystery and magic as Sarah's is alive with and animated by it. Their sessions open up a dialogue about the separation of worlds--one easily defined and explained and one unknowable and waiting on the other side of human experience. Even as his faith in his profession fades, David struggles to bring his disturbed patient back to the real world. In a desperate effort to define herself, Sarah \"escapes,\" and David must decide how far he is willing to go to save a patient, and ultimately, himself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarbara Hall is an award-winning novelist, screenwriter, and television producer.
