Angela's Path — Neil Albert

Angela Benedetto is rich, attractive, and successful in her business. The book opens in the office of a Park Avenue psychotherapist where she desperately seeks treatment after a lifetime of anxiety attacks, anorexia and depression, topped with a recent suicide attempt. Her doctor, the psychoanalyst of last resort, has an idea about therapy. Give me those pearls. Before the story is over, Angela has given up much more than her pearls. And gained so much as well. The story takes us from the Upper East Side to Mexico via Spanish Harlem. Most of all, it takes us into the mind of someone who finds what she truly values.
