Elinor Floum, a graduate psychoanalytic institute student, was trying to stay afloat. She had enough conflicting activities-studying, undergoing personal psychoanalysis, taking care of a husband, and parenting her children.She needed some time for fun, or she might go nuts.Here are the results. Call them epiphanies: striking and sudden realizations. She offers fragmented, impressionistic pictures of places, events and states of mind. They range from silly to sad to somber-and nuances in between. She shares these illuminating moments with readers as a conversation between her and you. She discloses much about her own psyche. Readers learn about and get to know Elinor Floum. Has she been too open? She wonders. In the end, she hopes not to be harshly judged. And most importantly, she hopes that her epiphanies will both amuse readers and touch them where it matters most-in their hearts.
