Review of Dragonfly - reviewer Alex Lynn - OnlineBookClub.org

The connection to nature, particularly the author's experiences with birds like magpies, adds a unique and compelling dimension to the storytelling. The exploration of Carruthers' path into counseling and the valuable lessons shared about empathy, healing, and self-care offers readers an enriching perspective on the complexities of human emotions and the therapeutic process.
