My Comfort Person | WLW

Twenty-nine-year-old Charlie Cantwell hasn't left her house since a death in the family smacked her in the face. For Charlie, who is autistic and lives in a strict routine and silence, the death of mother wasn't just a chapter ending-it was an earthquake that obliterated her world.

Enter Matilda: Charlie's sweet younger sister and part-time carer. Between dodging cringey selfies and coping through the pressures of fame as an actress, Matilda is determined to pull Charlie out of a black hole. She finally persuades Charlie to see the one person who keeps her own high-profile life from spinning out of control: her therapist, Mia Harris.

At forty-four, Mia is a light of optimism in the heart of London, a woman who has repaired thousands of broken souls. To Charlie, Mia is an intruder; she's certain no one-not a therapist, not even a god-can fix her. But as the sessions progress and the walls Charlie built begin to crumble, the professional boundary between patient and healer begins to fade away. What starts as a desperate search for healing evolves into an intimate connection that neither woman saw coming.
