Heralded by Denis Goldberg, the renowned anti-apartheid activist imprisoned for life at the Rivonia Trial, as "beautifully constructed," "fascinating," and a "wonderful exploration of culture and conflict in South Africa." Both heartbreaking and triumphant, this compelling story is one of love, loss, struggle, and a search for identity set against dramatic historical events. From the ugly past of South African apartheid to a dazzling career in medicine, one man is determined to live up to his name: Courage.

Psychoanalysis was her family's religion instead of wafers and wine, there were Seconals, Nembutals, and gin. Baptized into the faith at fourteen, Melissa Knox endured her analyst's praise of her childlike, victimized mother who leaned too close, ate off Melissa's plate, and thought pedophile meant silly person. Gaslighted with the notions that she'd seduced her father, failed to masturbate, and betrayed her mother, Melissa shouldered the blame. Her story of a family pulled into and torn apart by psychoanalysis exposes the abuse inherent in its authoritarianism as Melissa learns, with a startling sense of humor and admirable chagrin, that divorcing Mom is sometimes the least crazy thing to do.
