Publisher's Summary
Bestselling author Torey Hayden's novel is a fascinating study of a fractured family, a troubled child, and a psychiatrist's attempts to rescue them.
Conor, aged nine, arrives in the play therapy room of child psychiatrist James Innes with the diagnosis "autistic". His mother Laura, an aloof, enigmatic novelist, can't handle him. His rancher father, embroiled in divorcing Laura, does not feel there is anything wrong with Conor. His six-year-old sister Morgana insists he really does see ghosts. As James becomes convinced Conor is not autistic, he is drawn first into Conor's strange world of "things the cat knows" and then into Morgana's stories of her friend the "Lion King". James is pulled most deeply, however, into Laura's world; at first that of a lonely, rather difficult woman and then, eventually, into the world of her imagination, an enthralling world that seems almost real - and that hides a terrible secret.

Something different
wow this was totally different than what I'm used to of Torey Hayden.
almost like a phycological thriller.
While I was listening I was a bit disappointed to not get the normal Torey -real life-stories.
But I couldn't stop listening because I wanted to know what happend. And now I still confused hahahaha....
after all it was a good listen
very good preformance!!!!

This was not the usual Torey Hayden book
I was expecting a different type of story than this from Torey Hayden. I have enjoyed her previous stories about troubled children but this one seemed to have the child as a background story to a fanciful tale about a women’s active imagination. I hated the over-done story about the women’s imaginary friend Torgon and found it boring beyond words. The performance was good....if it hadn’t been, I would never have listened until the end.

Too much on the fantasy parts
Struggled to get through, which was a shock as I love her non fiction books!
