When Michel, a Swiss banker, discovers his wife Alice's betrayal, he turns for help to a Russian client who leads him into unknown territory, endangering not only his own life but that of Alice, and above all, his 14-year-old daughter, Pamela. Their charmed life --- a beautiful house on the French Riviera, elegant vacations and boarding school in Switzerland for Pamela --- is not all that it seems. As the repercussions of Michel's illicit deals move closer in around them, Alice finds herself in Amagansett with her artist sister who is having a crisis of her own, while the danger circles around Pamela.

Seventeen-year-old Dora opens up to Sigmund Freud about her strange life and her father's desires as far as she is concerned. But she abruptly ends her treatment after only 11 weeks, just as Freud was convinced he was on the cusp of a major discovery. In DREAMING FOR FREUD, Sheila Kohler explores what might have happened between the man who changed the face of psychotherapy and the beautiful young woman who gave him her dreams.

In BECOMING JANE EYRE, Sheila Kohler uses extensive research and her own imagination to bring the tragedy-filled circumstances of Charlotte Brontë and her family vividly to life. BECOMING JANE EYRE is the story of Anne, Emily and Charlotte as they struggle with love, family, finances and their writing.
