Living in a tiny Queens apartment, Rebecca and her husband Mickey typify struggling, 30-something New Yorkers—he’s an actor, and she’s a freelance journalist. But after the arrival of their baby son, the couple decides to pack up and head for sunny, comfortable Palm Beach, where Mickey’s been offered a sweet deal managing the household of a multimillionaire Democratic donor. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit. Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs.
When a medical emergency strikes, Rebecca begins to rethink he stances on money and influence. The main characters, Mickey and Rebecca, are somewhat well portrayed, but you never feel like you get beneath the surface of Mary Drucker any character, including the Stones, although Astrid Stone may be the most complex character in the book. There is supposed to be a “shocking secret“ about the Stones, but in reality, it’s not really shocking at all.
These tough times can make us feel hopeless, vulnerable, and powerless. As we know, we cannot avoid life’s hurts that leave us with pain, guilt, anger, and shame; however, we can learn from these emotions. Emotions influence our thinking processes, impacting how we see the world. Therapy can help clear these barriers of uncertainty, which can prevent us from achieving our personal goals, getting that promotion, or achieving a healthy relationship. Today, life throws so many stressors at us, and it can be a challenging at times to navigate and this is where I will step in. I offer a blend of cognitive and transpersonal therapy to assist people in managing symptoms, correcting faulty thoughts and beliefs and expressing emotion in a safe, non judgmental environment.
She just throws away everything she believes in and justifies everything that she does. Palm Beach is an interesting peek into the world of its billionaires. A world that Rebecca and Mickey at first detest yet come to see its priviledge and power.
I did not find the events of the book believable, really disliked the main character , and am confused as to what we are supposed to take away from this story. Rebecca and Mickey find themselves in Palm Beach after a series of crazy events find Mickey in need of an immediate career change and a job. As a struggling actor, he put his catering skills to work and took a job as an estate manager.
The grass always seems greener over the large hedges of the mansions we can barely see into. The young couple has to face some major decisions that could test their moral compass. What at first appeared to be a light, fluffy story turns out to be a bit more – a commentary on wealth, class and influence. My areas of expertise include depression, bipolar disorder, sexual abuse and trauma, grief, and stress management. I believe that I am exceptional at dealing with grief and loss issues, whether it be the loss of a loved one through death, a debilitating disease like Alzheimer's or grappling with a childhood where you did not get what you needed.
