In Book One, The Friction of Desire, Larry Longquist, world traveler, depressive, recovering addict, and freshly 60 years old, cashes his tiny 401K and engages the services of Mary Magdalene Miller, MD, specializing in psychiatry. Object — clarity.
Larry eventually introduces Dr. Miller to Bill Warren, recovering alcoholic. In Scars on Top of Scars, the question becomes, "Can arrested development and recovery coexist?" Mary Magdalene Miller, savvy therapist, thinks not. But how do you get a 220-pound ex-cop to give up acting like a scared five-year-old and grow up. Especially when his 55-year-old girl friend is exactly the same age emotionally.
In Her Name is Lillian, Dr. Miller is falling in love with two people at the same time. One is “the smart dog,” an architect who may or may not be wooing her. It’s hard to tell. The other is Lillian, a 15-year-old anorexic girl intent on becoming invisible by starving herself. When her parents bring her to see Dr. Miller, the doctor suspects that the way to save Lillian's life is to get her away from her parents.
