Lavender and Lies

When Trixie Callender opened her Lavender House Therapy
Centre, with hopes for a profi table, sweetly-scented, calming
environment, she could not have foreseen the impact to be
made by a troubled and troublesome client. The effect on
the therapists, their families and friends , causes ripples that
fragment relationships and results in some suspicious deaths.
An institution founded partly on unsupported theories and
practices, in an atmosphere of faith and hope, refl ects a larger
picture where half-truths and absolute lies ease
the social wheels.

Now retired with an MA in Education I was headteacher of
a Special School on the Isle of Wight,UK. I began to write
fi ction and have had several short stories published. Interested
in debates about alternative therapies, I thought there was room
for a black comedy with a Therapy Centre as the focus.
