Between a Wolf and a Dog

Ester is a family therapist with an appointment book that catalogues the anxieties of the middle class: loneliness, relationships, death. She spends her days helping others find happiness, but her own family relationships are tense and frayed. Ester is yearning to fall in love again. Meanwhile, her sister is struggling through her own directionless life; her ex-husband’s past decisions are catching up with him; and her mother is about to make a choice that will profoundly affect them all.
