Failure to Launch

I was talking to a friend the other day who is building a wing on his house so his daughter can have more space. She is 32, has a job, doesn’t pay rent, and now needs more space. I guess in this economy, it is difficult to find work and pay for a place to live, so kids are staying with the parents a lot longer. 
Nevertheless, seems to me it would be better for some of these children who are over thirty if they left home. 
When I went to college at 19, my mother redecorated my room with antiques. When I came home, it was obvious to me that my time at home was over. Now I don’t recommend that type of approach, it probably took a few years of therapy for me to recover from that change.
 However, seems that over 25 and still living at home needs some rethinking. I am sure some people will disagree. Let me know what you think. Just because I’ve lived a long time doesn’t mean I know all the answers. Just Say’n.

Readers’ hearts will be beating hard as they join in this adventure where people come back from the dead, wear so many facades you’re not quite sure who’s on the good or bad side of the law, while experiencing the growing attraction between the lady ‘cop’ who could be lying through her teeth and the normally bored psychologist who stepped into the adventure of a lifetime.

The author, a practicing psychotherapist, certainly knows how to light a fire at the beginning of a tale and guide the reader through all types of personalities and red herrings that will make them very disappointed when the story has to come to an end.

Quill Says: This is one psychologist who has met his match when it comes to a truly astonishing female!
