This seriocomic psychological examination into the mental health of "The Shrink to the Stars," centers on a Beverly Hills forensic psychiatrist who is either driving himself crazy, being driven crazy or both - by either someone, something or both.

After having successfully testified for the defense in a highly publicized lawsuit which saw the plaintiff lose $26 million, Adam Justus Holliman is subjected to not-so-coincidental instances of neurosis and psychosis from his patients, family members, and strangers.  When one of his patients, a famous rock guitarist, dies unexpectedly, he blames himself for his apparent suicide.  Adam's despondence and paranoia increase, eventually forcing him to become traumatized. 

As Adam approaches the psychological abyss he has created - or has been created for him, he arrives at its edge; however, he doesn't quite yet make a leap of faith into it.  His wife's love and tender devotion pull him back from taking that plunge.  Their love is reignited and their marriage reaffirmed.  Adam's recovery begins.

Or does it?  He has no idea what is now going on at his house and office.  He wonders if it is all still inside his head.   The edge of the abyss entices him again.

As Adam Justus Holliman teeters on the thread separating genius from insanity, he yearns to control perception in order to protect himself and his family.

Is there a method to his madness, as it splits his personality?  Or does it even matter if he drives everyone else crazy and out of his life?

As Adam knows all too well:  a schizophrenic is never lonely.

***Warning: 18+ Mature Content | Viewer Discretion Advised*** Micah Rosemond has never known real love. Despite having loving parents at a young age, his fairytale life was cut short due to a sudden car accident, leaving his father gone forever. His mother succumbed to the ways of God while they had been dragged into an abusive relationship with Richard Rosemond, a man who would soon after become Micah's stepfather. Realizing he fancied both sexes in such a preference-sensitive time, he as well as his fill-in shadow of a father figure copes with much more than what Granite Hill High School has to offer. Pascal Lorelei has an infinite amount of secrets and has no identity known by those around him. He uses anyone he can find to benefit him and his sick needs. Zara Violetta has switched personalities with her twin sister after the death of their mother, and now let's no one in behind her mental walls of protective armor. Delanie Violetta loses her voice after her mother dies and drowns in a relationship with her past flame. Habits she had weened off of slowly arise from the depths of her past to haunt her. Xandria Daimhin has fallen into her drug-induced ways every day since the love of her life disappeared from school and severed all contact from her until the next school year. Alec Clover develops severe jealousy issues when he discovers his old flame entangled with a new student all while being exclusive with his longtime best friend. Victor Daimhin hides a dark past behind his charismatic demeanor and refuses to let anyone know about it. If anyone would know, they would have to take it to their grave. Jacquelyn Lorelei has to live day to day with the fact that every man she knows and meets is either abusive or psychotic. She wonders when the day will come when they will all explode. Thalia Clover has major imposter syndrome and feels as though her family and friends only interact with her to use her for whatever she could possibly offer at any given time.

Sydney didn't have much, but that was fine with her. She didn't need much. Growing up on the Washington coast in a lonely beach town, working quietly behind the scenes was what she was good at. Living on the beach was much less glamorous than most people imagine. Her home was a beat up old Winnebago that she had shared with her father until he passed. Her father had been a detached parent. He loved his daughter of course, but he was by no means an affectionate man. She had grown up fending for herself, working backstage at a bar that hosted live bands using a fake ID. After the death of her father she saw an ad for a guitar technician for a local Seattle band. A love of rock and roll had been the one thing that her and her dad had in common. Selling everything that she didn't need she packed up her pickup truck and travelled north to the city, leaving the sleepy town in her rear view mirror. She didn't expect to embark on what would become the adventure of a lifetime. For someone who had hardly left the town she grew up in, the opportunity to get paid to travel the country and listen to great music was a dream come true. The band became her family, and life on the road was a perfect fit for her. Chris Cornell instantly became Sydney's best friend in the whole world. They were in love, that was plain as day to anyone who paid attention. Yet, sometimes love isn't as simple as it should be. Sometimes, love hurts. Warning: This book covers potentially triggering subjects such as depression, suicidal ideation, domestic abuse, sexual assault, poverty and drug use. These are issues that many of us have faced and are very real. If you or a loved one is experiencing suicidal thoughts or abuse in a relationship, please reach out and find help.

"You will meet together every Wednesday." She says with a smile, jotting down something on her clipboard. I grab my dry erase marker and start to scribble furiously on my white board. I flipped the side over to face the therapist and she read aloud. "I don't even know who this person is." "You can't isolate yourself, Wynter. Friends are nice to have around, for encouragement, to laugh with, and sometimes even cry with." She says and I shake my head vigorously. "Wynter, you make yourself think you don't need anyone's help or company, because you are scared. You've been hurt too much, so you put this defensive wall up, that no one can break down." She says and I frown at her. "It's time to let those walls down, honey." She pats my knee and I shake my head again. "And this is the person that's going to help you do it."

A loving spouse. A healer. How does this person cope with evil villains willing to destroy everything? They convicted the victim... now how does the victim goes on with life as a healer? As the book opens, I was in a psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt in December 2019. What starts as a simple conversation with another patient changed my life. Most of the rest of the book tells the reader how I got to this point. I experienced profound injustice between 2004 and 2006. By opening with a story about suicide, I want the reader to understand that the injustice was not just something that happened long ago. This book is an account of all the accomplishments and successes that I had in overcoming tremendous odds and challenges. Growing up, I was paralyzed by shyness and lacked social skills, and so the idea of becoming a psychotherapist never occurred to me when I went off to college. I learned that I could overcome those limitations. I wanted to bring that hope and healing to others. Activities like that make life meaningful and bring me joy. The reasons why I was suicidal in 2019 were set in motion in 2000 when a meteor would come crashing down upon the life that I had built leaving me powerless to do anything other than watching everything burn to ashes - the home that I had, the life I had known, the love I had, my career, everything would disappear almost as if it never existed. In that one the year 2000, I could not imagine things could get any worse. But the nightmare would continue for the next few years... culminating in a suicide attempt in 2019. Now, I am connecting with others, building relationships, and finding a reason to live again. I am writing my own story of my life. My parents Bruce Martin Whealton Sr. and Kathleen Murphy Whealton were actually guilty of assault on a minor while their son, me, Bruce Martin Whealton Jr. NEVER harmed anyone but had to suffer as I was a perpetrator when I was only ever a victim.
