What happens when the patient becomes the therapist, and the therapist becomes the patient? Psychologist Ember Hueth has it all she is going to leave her abusive husband and affair behind. But when she finds herself in the center of a murder investigation after her eighteen-year-old patient Sandra Parsson is found dead, Ember scrambles to cover up her own illicit secrets. But Sandra is not so innocent. At least she, herself, doesn’t think so, as her premeditated reason for choosing Ember as her therapist begins to uncoil. The closer Ember gets to unraveling Sandra’s secrets, the greater the connection between the two becomes. In Allison Relyea's debut novel, A Cure Through Love, answers unravel as volcanically as Ember’s subconscious, proving that the past provides only what the past can answers, details, and clarity.
