. C.P. Florez tells the story of Latina psychologist, Irene Míral, and her obsession with her mother's tragic tales of abuse and strange perceptual events. The nuanced narrative explores the PTSD cases of eight women as Irene pushes back against the misdiagnoses that have trapped them in a dysfunctional mental health system. Her work is at the center of her. Memories of her mother's experiences haunt Irene's professional and personal life. Alma not only gave accounts of her husband's abuse and the loss of the children of her first marriage, but she also told a tale of a young woman in white light who comforted her during her moments of most profound strife. Irene sensed she could formulate a link between the flashbacks that impaired her patients and her mother's perceptual experiences. Irene dares to experiment beyond the norms of scientific inquiry and embarks on an innovative study of ESP. Fascinating findings and a blossoming relationship with her research partner keep her invested in the risky endeavor. But straddling the realms of science and the paranormal will cost her. Just when important breakthroughs with her patients validate her professional efforts, her life is unexpectedly upturned.
