The Writer in the Garden adds up to a glorious compendium of writing that is amusing, original, and idiosyncratic. Excerpts span not only the beauties of the garden but such far-reaching topics as weeds, the tribulations of gardening in a cold climate, the dangers of rare plant collecting, the delights of weeding, the pitfalls of growing roses, and the place of "tacky" in a garden. The book is impeccably read by a group of professional actors.

Author Michael Quetting shares the hilarious and moving true story of how he became a father to seven rambunctious goslings - and the surprising things he learned along the way.

Billy, a middle-aged man, sits down with his psychologist, Doctor Kerr, to discuss how his life has been going. As they talk, he tells him about how he went over to his ex-wife’s house, the one they used to consider theirs, and tried to have a good day with his son, Josh, whom he never feels like he gets to spend enough time with. Unfortunately, as the morning continued on, things repeatedly got in the way of the perfect day he had planned for him and his boy, and he let his anger go too far.

Hypothetically, if you were to kill someone, who would you turn to for help? Is there someone out there - a real friend you could trust, whom would lie for you? Do you have anyone in your life who would risk everything to keep you from going to jail? That’s the question posed to Doctor Kerr by his client Jordan, and he’s got a story to tell.

We've all heard the stories and watched the movies where someone finds a magic lamp or a monkey's paw and suddenly finds that their greatest wish can be made true. Today Doctor Kerr is visiting the ward to consult with a young man named Howard who claims he's in that exact situation. After listening to his story, the doctor will need to decide on his diagnosis. Is Howard being honest, is he delusional, or is it something else?

Psychologists often see clients who want to either come to terms with an issue, or fix something from their past. In most cases, this is seen as a productive step towards living a healthier life. Unfortunately, the manner in which one attempts to fix things may not always be what the psychologist would choose for their client, and can conflict strongly with the doctor-patient relationship.

As a psychologist, you never know who will walk through your door or what they’ll need to talk about. Tonight, he’ll take on a client who makes him face the age old question about nature vs. nurture, the debate about why people behave the way they do.
