The text below is true and factual narrative. It was written in 2007. As a retired clinical psychologist I received this letter from a former client. I stumbled across it while searching for another file. I had asked this lady to write me a “short” letter. After reading it I found it more of a chapter for a book. Please excuse her spelling, and punctuation. You may likewise find hints of an Appalachian dialect. I thought the readers here might enjoy.
