Cathy has been studying Tears Are Solely Water by J. Herman Kleiger.
Carmine Luedke’s mind works otherwise to what’s thought-about the ‘norm’ and he has little in widespread with the vast majority of folks. Consequently he’s ridiculed mercilessly by colleagues in his job as a bookkeeper. Affected by Narcolepsy throughout the day, maybe as a method to keep away from and ignore the feedback and mockery, he ultimately has permission to work on his accounts throughout the night time. However even engaged on his personal with no distractions didn’t resolve the issue of the account he couldn’t reconcile. Some figures appeared to have disappeared and others seem, seemingly from nowhere. He couldn’t perceive or make sense of it. He noticed numbers as colors and so they normally comforted him. These numbers didn’t supply any consolation in any respect.
Fuelled by addictive self medicating, the assumption he’s being contacted by a lifeless pal, being advised he should be mistaken in regards to the account discrepancy and compounded by a scathing rant by his workplace supervisor, Carmine loses management and assaults her. He’s arrested and despatched to a psychiatric facility, however all just isn’t because it appears.
Carmine’s isolation in a psych ward is the catalyst that brings three different folks, who even have difficult points, collectively. Carmine’s sister, Professor Anne Schivalone likes to pigeonhole the luggage she carries from the previous. Dr Hazel Lukachunai, a local American healer who has persistence and understanding, however her strategies should not accepted by the vast majority of the hospital staff. There are plans to terminate her employment. And Deputy Nicola Kitts, a veteran marine affected by the odd bout of PTSD, who has her suspicions aroused in regards to the circumstances surrounding Carmine’s incarceration and the individuals who compelled the problem.
Tears Are Solely Water is a robust character pushed, multi layered and twisty thriller, made all of the extra so due to the writer’s understanding and information of the complexity of psychological well being and the way it may be misunderstood. I loved the Native American knowledge and therapeutic facet and will see how that could be helpful. The one factor the properly outlined predominant characters have in widespread is trauma of 1 type or one other, handled in differing methods. Fairly a thought scary learn.
E book description:

One fateful night time, an sudden and stunning reunion with a long-lost pal he believed to be lifeless sends shockwaves via Carmine’s fastidiously crafted routine. She arrives with an pressing plea and vanishes into skinny air, leaving him with extra questions than solutions. Determined for readability, Carmine’s life spirals into chaos, and he withdraws from the world, struggling to make sense of all of it. His self-absorbed older sister, a battle-hardened deputy, and a sensible Navajo Elder all try to succeed in him, however the query is it already too late?
