In His Right Mind tells the story of a man who is thrust into an adventure he never would have chosen, with a result he never could have imagined--the sort of story that is more often publicized in the case of a woman who is being threatened by a deranged lover; the sort of situation where protective restraining-orders are of no avail. In the midst of a growing maelstrom of external events, the story focuses forcefully on the inner responses of its sensitively introspective protagonist.
A prominent theme of the story: When pushed into crisis far beyond that found in our daily lives, we never know what aspect of ourselves will emerge--unless and until such a dire crisis actually befalls us.
