By the award-winning author of Sunflowers Under Fire, a psycholgical fiction inspired by the author's experience as a family therapist on a psychiatric ward. ¿¿When Dr. Joanna Bereza, a passionate intern, challenges Dr. Myron Eisenstadt, her supervising psychiatrist, on his aggressive use of shock treatment, she not only risks her career but also her marriage. Obsessed with the care of two women on the ward-a mute young mother and an old woman who's been shocked too many times-she becomes blinded to problems at home. It doesn't help that she's working alongside a seductive doctor, who looks more like a hip musician than an aspiring shrink. Shadowing Joanna's work is her own unresolved grief over something that happened when she was a child. The Rubber Fence was inspired by the author's experience as a family therapist on a psychiatric ward.

Autorenporträt
Diana Stevan likes to joke she's a Jill of all trades as she's worked as a family therapist, teacher, librarian, model, actress and sports reporter for CBC television. With writing her passion, she's published newspaper articles, poetry; a short story, and a novelette, The Blue Nightgown, a coming-of-age story set in the 1950s. Her novels cross genres: A Cry from the Deep, a time-slip romantic mystery/adventure; The Rubber Fence, women's fiction, inspired by her work on a psychiatric ward in the 1970s, and Sunflowers Under Fire, historical fiction / family saga, based on her Ukrainian grandmother's life during WWI and the wars that followed in Russia. This last novel was a finalist for the 2019 Whistler Independent Book Awards, sponsored by the Writers Union of Canada, a semi-finalist for the 2019 Kindle Book Awards, Literary Fiction category, and Honorable Mention in 2020 Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards. When she isn't writing, she loves to garden, travel, and read. With their two daughters grown, Diana lives with her husband Robert on Vancouver Island and West Vancouver, British Columbia.
