The Complete Maggie Sayer Series: Five full length novels featuring therapist Maggie Sayer by Gillian Jackson--'Edgy, poignant, romantic & well told'

THE MAGGIE SAYER SERIES

"The author has real empathy for the characters she creates. She shows an insight into human nature as she interweaves their lives with that of Maggie the counsellor."

Maggie Sayer is a therapeutic counsellor who is no stranger to grief herself and therefore has a genuine empathy with her clients, often going the extra mile, as she seeks to empower them to move on with their lives. In THE COUNSELLOR we meet Julie, who lives in fear of an abusive husband, and Janet, who is crumbling under the weight of a secret she has kept for over forty years. Karen has never recovered from her mother's violent death, and Maggie is drawn into each of her clients' issues at the same time as she is faced with an ethical dilemma of her own when she meets Peter...

"Sensitively written, poignant and compelling"

In MAGGIE'S WORLD, Ellie wakes from a coma with no memory, even of her own baby. Sarah is a newlywed, whose fairy-tale romance and marriage is turning into a nightmare, causing her to doubt her own sanity, and a past client returns to Maggie's door with problems she is unable to solve.

"I got so involved with all the characters and found I could not put the book down."
