Daphne is a young woman with a troubled past. With her in the sanitarium are a strange collection of people who both hinder and help her as she tries to heal from an abusive childhood.
Glen, the protector. Theodore, the wise. Stuart, the paranoid. Violet, the nymphomaniac. Pet Shop, the zookeeper. Shy Boy, the drooler.
And Andie, the therapist who finally reaches through to Daphne.
A story with sadness, horror, comedy, hate, love and redemption.
Belt Buckles & Pajamas is intended for mature audiences, as it deals with a young woman’s recovery from childhood abuse, and some of the situations are not suitable for younger readers. The novel contains some humorous moments to lighten the story. It is a story about the redemptive power of love and the strength of the human spirit.

"Great review from 4 Star Rating" Review by Carrie White of 4 Star Rating: "It is notoriously difficult to get into someone's head especially if they suffer from mental health 'difficulties'. No one can begin to guess the ways in which the human brain deals with such trauma; there are infinite possibilities. However, Michelle LeBlanc has done a remarkable job as she relates the story of Daphne, a young woman trying to deal with her past when she was sexually abused by her father. There is usually a complex relationship between a patient and her therapist with the patient needing to trust her 100%. Ms LeBlanc has captured this well and with sympathy. Belts, Buckles and Pajamas is an intriguing story of remarkable courage and faith. It will undoubtedly provoke deep emotions in all its readers. One you cannot afford to miss." ------------------------------- Full review can be found at:... More > http://fourstarrating.blogspot.com/2008/10/belts-buckles-and-pajamas-by-michele.html< Less
