Arabic Anka Pendant

For many years Margret Berendes worked as a psychiatrist, not only in private practice but also at a mental health clinic in one of the poorest sections of Washington, D.C. Set against three authentic backgrounds--a mental health clinic in Washington, D.C., a Benedictine monastery in New Mexico, and an Inuit settlement in the Canadian Arctic--the story of a woman psychiatrist and a most unusual patient unfolds with suspence and imagination. The patient is a forty-year-old, highly educated black man, a Vietnam veteran, who spends most of his time in city libraries, but at night exists homeless on the street. Ordered by a mental heath commission to undergo mandatory treatment, he meets his psychiatrist, a thirty-five-year-old woman, who is supposed to see him on a regular basis. It soon turns out that her life is mysteriously interwoven with his. It takes ten years of unraveling before the secret of this obscure connection reveals itself.Berendes, Margret is the author of 'Arabic Anka Pendant' with ISBN 9781591295303 and ISBN 1591295300.
