Teri Winfield...Herself!

Teri Winfield is an enigma. Bright and assertive, one would expect her to be a successful executive, perhaps working in the area of marketing or public relations. So why is this intelligent 43-year-old woman working as a waitress for a trendy restaurant and lounge? Why does she frequently discard all pretense of propriety and speak to others like a crude street urchin? And what is the meaning of her recurring and disturbing dream? To answer these questions, one would need to know about Teri’s dark past, particularly the traumatic event that befell her and “Libby” 20 years earlier.

Robyn G. Wall is a retired clinical social worker and psychotherapist who lives in Austin, Texas with his Korean wife, Younnie, her cellist-playing son, Daniel, and her retired parents, Jin and Maeho. His 43-year professional career was dedicated to the clinical treatment of individuals, couples, and families who struggled bravely with emotional and psychological problems. It was a work that he found always challenging, ever rewarding, and often fascinating. The fascination of his job came mostly via the complex and remarkable clients with whom he and his colleagues worked, and it was these clients who inspired him to pursue his long-held avocation of literary writing. Even though his writings are fictional, they are stories that convey universal truths about life itself and illuminate both the fragility and resilience of the human psyche.
