Raymonde Dumont, MD, LMFT, is both a pediatrician and a family therapist.

She practiced and taught for several years at Harvard Medical School, and at the Joslin Diabetes Center. She saw the impact of one person's illness through their entire family, and showed that mental health affects medical outcomes.

In private practice, as a family therapist, she helps families collaborate during difficulties, rather than becoming divided.

She is also a mother, a widow, and a friend to many. She now turns her years of experience into words that speak of resilience, and of the flawed road that leads us to becoming good enough.

The topic is important.
The stories are by turns gripping and human.
The overall construction of the book gave me whiplash, spinning from one character to another.

Michael   Lewis
“The failure of decision makers to grapple with the inner workings of their own minds, and their desire to indulge their gut feelings, made it “quite likely that the fate of entire societies may be sealed by a series of avoidable mistakes committed by their leaders.”
Michael Lewis, The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds

“The job of the decision maker wasn’t to be right but to figure out the odds in any decision and play them well.”
Michael Lewis, The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds

“In an interview I did with David Brooks in 2019, the genially conservative New York Times columnist reflected on the social agony criticizing Trump had caused him. “I had been part of the conservative movement my whole life,” he told me. “The Weekly Standard.

Ezra Klein, Why We're Polarized

Meredith Hall
“Do I know how to love, how not to harm, how to protect and defend, how to be sanctuary? I have believed from the moment I gave birth to Alex and Benjamin, my kept children, that I know the obligations of a mother’s love. My two young sons are growing up inside their trust in me. I try so hard to be a good mother. I am safety, tenderness, praise. But I am also, always, the child cast out to the world a long time ago. I move between the sorrows of my past and an unrelenting will to love my children well. I am child, and I am mother.”
Meredith Hall, Without a Map: A Memoir
