All of what I love about this book won’t fit here. To be not long-winded: It is a writing that provides true relief to those of us who shudder at feelings of emptiness and/or inadequacy. Instead of tools to banish such uncomfortable states, Epstein offers the Buddhist approach: allow it all, tolerate it all. Yet he is also a psychotherapist and therefore weaves his chapters with first-hand hope and expertise about how to accept like Buddha and confront like a well, like a therapist.

This third novel from Strauss (Chang and Eng) tracks a Long Island family crisis. Josh Goldin is a happily married TV airtime salesman with an eight-month-old son. When baby Zack is treated twice for mysterious and life-threatening symptoms, the head of a pediatric ICU, Dr. Darlene Stokes, tells Child Protective Services that she thinks Josh's wife, Dori, suffers from Munchausen syndrome, whereby the afflicted injure their children deliberately to draw attention to themselves. The Goldins' ensuing battle to keep Zack provides grist for public debate about issues ranging from parents' rights to race.
