Hot Tea and Mercy

by Rae Lashea

Though barely holding her unraveling life together, psychiatrist and closet alcoholic Dr. Marianella Merced charges a pretty penny per hour to guide others in correcting their flaws, including Shandell O'Brien, who is in a losing battle with cancer, and the newly married teacher, Joan Campbell, whose husband is not who she thought he was. As she delves deeper into the stormy lives of the women around her, she becomes inspired to take responsibility for her actions and stay strong during her own darkest hours. "Hot Tea and Mercy" is the latest novel from Brooklyn-born author Rae Lashea.

Thank you, Goodreads and the author, for the book. Thought the book was confusing at times, interesting story.

suprisingly nice for a book I just bought for the cover & while not knowing anything about it.

I personally have a thing for short stories with lots of POVs, tho here I at times was a bit confused.
I liked the way the title later connected to the story.
