Shrinking Texas: a novel
Dr. Kate has a thriving therapy practice in Grapevine, Texas, helping people find a way through the toughest challenges of their lives. Meanwhile Dr. Kate has challenges of her own-- recovering from divorce, raising a son alone, and navigating the ups and downs of being back in the dating scene at 45.
In Shrinking Texas, the reader has a “couch-side” seat as Dr. Kate works with her patients: a couple whose marriage is in crisis over infidelity; a lesbian couple in a bitter struggle over differences in desire; a lonely, single man working to escape from his vindictive last love and start a new, healthier relationship; and a mother of two children divorcing her alcoholic husband. Most will rise above their struggles to find hope and healing. But for two, their story will end in shocking violence.
Gathering stories over thirty-nine years as a marriage and family therapist, author, Dr. Pat Hudson, weaves a tale that both entertains and offers insight into the true process of change and the roadblocks to it. Humor, heartbreak, wisdom, and a Texas-size dose of intrigue await the reader in the pages of Shrinking Texas.
