In Losing We Gain

Book excerpt: "Damn smart folk," Mark grumbled, "That's why I like you, Daryan. Smart, collected-no wonder you're a doctor!" Daryan laughed softly, replying, "I'm no doctor, Mark. Just your friendly neighborhood psychiatrist."" Everyone has issues. Some are easily defined, easily treated, or easily swept under the rug. Others, like the patients of Doctor Daryan Locke, face issues that lie deeper under the surface than they may appear. Doctor Locke has certainly seen his share of patients-everyone from troubled teenagers to master thieves and wedding planners-but their cases always come to a conclusion. And while Daryan is adept at handling his patients, his own troubles may not be so easy to diagnose.
