by Prasad Paul Duffy

Paperback $16.99

What happens when the person who helps others understand their relationships discovers that her own heart is far more complicated than her professional expertise suggests? In The Alchemy Hour, Dr. Helena Ross, a successful author and radio therapist, encounters an unexpected challenge when Dodge Harrison, a young writer struggling with his sexuality, enters her office. Their collaboration gradually develops into a romance that challenges their assumptions about love, identity, and the people they believe themselves to be. As their relationship crosses professional boundaries, Helena and Dodge discover how intimacy can lead to self-discovery while exposing uncomfortable truths. When Helena’s son comes home from college, their longing for connection collides with the consequences of their choices, raising difficult questions about desire, responsibility, and whether the pursuit of love can justify the risks people take to find it. A provocative literary novel about forbidden love and self-acceptance, The Alchemy Hour explores emotional honesty, authentic identity, and the courage required to confront the uncomfortable truths about ourselves and those we love.
