This book was half doctor's-office confessional and half saga of personal and professional ups and downs. The stories her patients told were interesting (albeit mostly depressing), but her own stories were so...ugh. I can see it being a memoir and all, but no one wants to read about your endless financial troubles and marital issues and worries over your children. Also, there was WAY too much focus on the insomnia and "sleeping medicine" (I think she "found" her jar of medicine every other page. Did her husband keep hiding it in a different spot?) probably because it sounds like she did most of the writing of this book during the wee hours of the morning, so I'm sure the fact that she wasn't sleeping was forefront on her mind, but it was tedious to be reminded of it so constantly. Also, her "revelation" at the end felt like just grasping for some incident to wrap up a story that really had no neat ending. I didn't like it.
Anyway, if you really love women's issues, and also want to hear a lot about IRS liens and the costs of running a private medical practice, this book is a good choice. Otherwise, I'd skip it.
