NOTES

Read by James Davidson

Dr. John Sanders is about to begin his career as a clinical psychologist. Full of optimism, he believes he can make a difference and is eager to provide hope to a group the world has deemed hopeless. Yet in John's quest to offer those in his care a second chance, he embarks on his own journey of self-discovery. In his search, clear answers become scrambled confusion while the unimaginable truth is trapped in a complex web. Review Excerpt: "Sander's Starfish is a powerful story regarding the worth of a soul and doing what is right in the face of any challenge... As tension builds, author Allred masterfully intermingles the lives of the two main characters. The manuscript shows ardent insight into the life of the mentally ill and is completed with striking writing. The true-to-life scenes in a residential care treatment center are powerfully portrayed. Sanders' Starfish rivets the reader from the opening lines as we confront Clarissa with Dr. Sanders. Our knees smart when the cart is thrust into his by the dogged patient. Reader attention is held fast from that initial contact with the main character and does not diminish until the conflict is properly decided. The writing is of good quality, the action fast-paced, the plot convincing and easy to follow, with dialogue that effectively moves the story along... Richly rendered surroundings, story line twists, snappy exchanges, hair-raising excitement, and puzzling uncertainty pack the pages of author Allred's work with mesmerizing reader appeal... Flourishing with well-rounded characters in this remarkably directed anecdote of deception, underhanded conniving, and unexpected disputes, the book has something to please every reader."
