A new series of Therapeutic Tales from the School of Life--now in paperback. Anna is a kind and thoughtful person, in her mid-twenties. But lately, life has been hard. Her job is extremely stressful, her relationship is lacking balance and support, she has a difficult and complicated family history. It's not hard to see a bit of ourselves in her.
