The day she returns from her mother's funeral, Georgina discovers her husband Colin's affair. A remote Englishman, he is unsympathetic to the fact that Georgina’s world has been capsized by the death of both her parents and her daughter, Kate’s, suicidal depression. Already down on her hands and knees, fighting for her child’s life, Colin’s affair lands Georgina face down in the mud. As Kate grows sicker and nothing helps, Georgina descends into a nightmare world where all her assumptions about reality are exploded as she turns for help to an intuitive in Minnesota, a Peruvian archangel channel, an Irish mystic and her own dreams. Georgina is mystical, Kate is practical. Where Georgina rushes in guided by intuition, Kate thinks things through, observing and sensing their pulse. Only love for her mother keeps Kate from taking her own life, when all she wants, is to beg for death, to end the unbearable pain. Four women support them on their journey. It is articulate hardboiled Emma, an obituary writer for The Times, who perpetually goads Georgina in the role of side kick and commentator. The wisdom of the crone is offered by Georgina's 80 year old friend Selma. Selma is the daughter of a black share cropper raised in the South before the Civil Rights Act. When Georgina says "If Kate dies, I will die. Did you know love can kill?" Selma tells her "pull up your socks girl, you got to pull up your socks and help your child.” And it is Carrie, the etherial horse therapist, who, when fear grips Georgina by the throat, stealing her voice, reminds her, "worrying is like praying for what you don't want.” And then, there is Julia, Georgina's younger sister. It is Julia who has always sweetened Georgina's life. But it is Julia, and not Kate, who will be sacrificed to death before the story ends. As the book moves forward into the present, six years after Kate’s confrontation with death, she is married to Finn and living in Okinawa, Japan, working as a graphic novelist. Finn is in Air Force special forces. Kate also has a friend, Lydia, who like Kate, is a military wife. But unlike Kate, Lydia, has never been able to be authentic even with herself. There are four men in the book. Cyrus is Kate's father and Georgina's exotic, handsome, Persian ex-husband. Colin is Georgina's most recent husband and the villain in the group. He's self-centered and disloyal, but unfortunately also smart, funny and sexy. He doesn't even pretend support as he burns the house down and poisons the well. Matthew is a nuclear physicist and Georgina's final love. He arrives in the twilight hour of her life and carries her home to herself. Kate's husband, Finn, is all American, full of testosterone, good will and tenderness, and he looks like James Dean. After her near death, it is Finn who calls Kate's Soul back into being. As the characters hurdle along through the story bumping up against one another, each has flashes of insight, but it is only Georgina and Kate who experience the full catastrophe of the human condition and see the blinding beauty in it. Their journey into suffering and their acceptance of it, becomes a thousand allumettes which light up the inner landscape of their lives, altering them forever.

The Path Has Heart By David Buskin Disclosure #1: The author is a friend.Disclosure #2: I approached this book with a certain degree of trepidation.When you read the work of a friend, you very much want it to be good, or at least good enough that you don’t have to lie through your teeth when you praise it to them. Plus, in this case, I feared it might possibly be a tough read, because Dr. Plunket and I experience the world in very different ways. I prepared myself for a slog through impenetrable (to me) forests of Jungian psychology with assorted mythic apps like healing-at-a-distance, past and future lives, wise and powerful animals, trees with souls, the whole gamut. The author is a highly respected, much-sought-after therapist, with a bottomless empathy gene, but it’s not too much of a stretch to say she’s never met a crystal she doesn’t like.However.If being a proficient novelist turns in large part on creating breathing, compelling characters, putting them into challenging high-stakes situations and making their inner process manifest so that we take the journey with them and care very much about what happens to them, Susan Plunket, in her first venture into fiction, demonstrates a veteran's mastery of the genre. What I feared might be over-the-top philosophizing has instead been alchemically transformed into finely wrought - fascinating - aspects of character. The ideas live because the people to whom they matter do also.This is nowhere more evident than in the protagonists’ battles with suffering and despair, betrayal and loss, as they struggle to go from shadow into light. Life has nasty surprises waiting for all of us, and the way we deal with them - more than anything else, I think - defines who we are. And the way they are dealt with in When Every Breath Becomes a Prayer made the book, for this reader, impossible to put down. I hope the author will write more fiction; true, it might take some time away from her profession of healing, but psychology’s loss will be literature’s gain.

Ms. Plunket has a great way of drawing the reader into the story line. I felt as though I was right there with the characters. For me this book is a wonderful testament to the power of love and faith and how our beliefs can help us along our path.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Fasten your seatbelt ... By Georgia James Susan Plunket's book is a poetic roller coaster, a wholly original ride you almost believe was actually devised by some other-worldly intelligence - assuming that intelligence was not only wise but also kind. And with a wicked sense of humor. Plus a killer instinct for zeroing in on the essence of human character. Is love even possible when we are all so fragile and flawed? How can one bear heartbreak upon heartbreak and still maintain our sanity? Are we mere fumbling mortals, destined to be defeated by the dark powers that betray us? Is hope too flimsy a garment to wear onto the battlefield of life - or is it really woven of steely stuff, something akin to courage? The intertwined stories of mother Georgina in New York and daughter Kate in Okinowa unfurl with such delicious, almost easy grace that you want to savor each chapter. Sometimes you may need to stop and let the dust settle in your brain after a particularly harrowing passage. (Dr. Plunket knows the landscape of the suffering human heart better than most; you'll be glad to have such an experienced guide when the story ventures into the depths of despair - and back out again, thank the gods!) In the end, I hope you will feel as I did: enlightened, entertained and even comforted by the book's heart and wisdom - and with a renewed appetite for the fray of life. Loved. This. Book.
