Faced with public responses like the first one above, all I think of in my dotage is the wisdom of Joe Cocker:

Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood...

Hugs,
Hops

Dr. Richard Grossman:
Hi Hops,

Thanks!  Both my patient and I knew that 99% of readers would not understand—and would be dismissive—of our books, but given our particular “characters” we set the same goal:  If one person “gets” something very significant from it, the book was worth writing.  Luckily, each of our goals has been met.

On this topic, one of the three most important (and surprising) lessons of my life is the divergence of truth and status.  Largely because of genetics (passed along to me by my mother!), truth—and making a significant difference in individual people’s lives—is far more important to me than status.  Certainly, my patients are grateful for this.

Count me among them, please!

So am I...oh so am I!

Gratefully,
Hops
