Summary
Bestselling author Torey Hayden's novel is a fascinating study of a fractured family, a troubled child, and a psychiatrist's attempts to rescue them.
Conor, aged nine, arrives in the play therapy room of child psychiatrist James Innes with the diagnosis "autistic". His mother Laura, an aloof, enigmatic novelist, can't handle him. His rancher father, embroiled in divorcing Laura, does not feel there is anything wrong with Conor. His six-year-old sister Morgana insists he really does see ghosts. As James becomes convinced Conor is not autistic, he is drawn first into Conor's strange world of "things the cat knows" and then into Morgana's stories of her friend the "Lion King". James is pulled most deeply, however, into Laura's world; at first that of a lonely, rather difficult woman and then, eventually, into the world of her imagination, an enthralling world that seems almost real - and that hides a terrible secret.

Brilliant
I was swept along with the story and listened to it in two days I knew the characters faces and even guessed some of the story as it went along! Definitely worth listening too!

An interesting read.
I enjoy this book. it was narrated very well. I found it very interesting but I enjoy her non-fiction books better. I still would recommend this book.

Enjoyed it from the second half onward
I didn't read the description properly and thought this was one of Hayden's usual stories so I was a bit disappointed to meet James in places of Torey's usual spot as the therapist. I let it play on though and started to enjoy the story from about half way (after I let go of my stubborness). I first thought the story jumped around too much between different story lines bit it all came together nicely. Would recommend

not usual for Torey Hayden
this was the most complex and bizarre novel. Read Toreys nonfiction - they are amazing!
