Description

The story of the immigrant psychiatrist Greta Koski is taking the reader through a spiritual journey, along the often-beaten road of friendship, love, and family relations. Greta and Ana are best friends since childhood and their relation thrives despite unfavorable factors such as distance and busy lives. Family members and enigmatic figures such as Nana Ioana continuously point towards the right path, helping Greta with her choices and supporting her along the way. Greta learns several lessons about love throughout her life; she finds out that the taste of love is varied, and it will always be the most flavorful among all human feelings. Her greatest mentor, the one who taught her the first lesson about love was her grandfather; even as a memory, he is a character of consequence in the unfolding of events in Greta's life.Greta's life in the United States begins under the auspicious mark of prosperity, not just material but also intellectual. As years go by, we find her at the opposite side of the spectrum, in a constant battle to preserve her mental and spiritual strength as she is losing her husband and then her daughter finds her soul-mate and decides to move back to Europe. Her parents and close friend Ana, living in Romania, are a motivation for her to reconsider her whereabouts, and she eventually returns to her home country to take care of her aging mother. Greta the psychiatrist is a passionate figure, someone who tries to re-arrange the life experiences of her patients and frame them into multiple realities, not just the physical reality but also the reality of the spirit, of the ancient and mysterious "psyche".Eventually, Greta becomes disillusioned and gives up her profession but chooses not to stray too far; she becomes a school counselor and later decides to write a book with the help of her friend Ana about her life and experiences as a psychiatrist. The message of the story sheds light on a lifestyle that has its roots in the traditional way of life. Greta constantly oscillates between modern and traditional for each life stage, but her scale will eventually be heavier on the traditional side. The peace and equilibrium that she achieves come at a price, but she takes her losses with a brave heart, knowing that the way she was molded from childhood is the way she will always be; that is where her heart returns, even when other possibilities are tempting. Greta's life story is similar to a fairy tale transposed to present times. The enchanted characters are replaced with regular people of deep convictions; the unusual circumstances are replaced with life's twists and turns characteristic to modern circumstances. The beauty of it all lies in the guiding strength that rises from the depth of human relations and the power of self-knowledge.
