Trouble-Trouble

A shoemaker without shoes. This happens more often than we think. Brilliant teachers prove powerless in teaching their own children; excellent doctors don’t notice their own illnesses. The main characters of this book take care of others, even though they themselves need help. Indifference and betrayal from loved ones, once-unchangeable ties formed in youth, happiness and bitterness of memories, the search for the guilty in people’s troubles, acceptance and forgiveness. A psychiatrist doctor, who runs the appointments, turns out to be in the patient’s place. The confession story becomes a way to heal wounds from the past and problems of the present.
