"By turns engrossing and didactic, this short novel by Adamse follows psychiatrist Richard Johnson through 10 sessions with a patient named Gabriel, who claims to be God. At the outset of the relationship, Johnson assumes that his new patient is psychotic—though also possibly psychic. For his part, Gabe says he has come to vent. Hes emotionally exhausted, wants people to be good and kind, and insists that without humanitys cooperation, he cant foster love in the world. He thinks religion sometimes helps people, but dismisses the idea that theres only one path to God... sections of this novel are moving, as when Gabe recites a long litany about the worlds suffering. Adamse can be sophisticated—when Johnson admits that he wishes he and Gabe could cease acting like doctor and patient, and casually converse instead, its clear Adamse is also making a statement about Gods wish that people would stop beseeching him and just hang out." -- Publisher's Weekly

If you’ve ever been dumped, duped, or three minutes from crazy, you’ll love Crazy Aunt Purl. Side-splittingly funny and profoundly moving, Drunk, Divorced, and Covered in Cat Hair is the true-life misadventures of Laurie Perry, a/k/a Crazy Aunt Purl, a slightly neurotic, displaced Southerner trying to create a new life after her husband leaves her to “get his creativity back.” (Whatever the hell that means.) But will she get her groove back in a tiny rented apartment, with a mountain of boxes, visible panty lines, and a slight wine-and-Cheetos problem?

Like most seasoned psychiatrists, Dr. Richard Johnson thought he'd heard it all. His assuredness falters when a first-time client arrives at his office and announces that he is God. Listening intently to the man, who is obviously suffering from severe psychosis, he agrees to take the case. What transpires over the course of the next nine sessions will test everything in the doctor's bag of tricks. As he struggles to unravel the client’s illness before he becomes a danger to himself, a chilling series of coincidences and events cause him to question everything he thought he knew about himself, his place in the world, and life after death. Was their time together the revelations of divinity or the ramblings of a delusional? What's possible? You decide... Ten sessions. A lifetime of answers. Part psychological drama and part profound parable, God's Shrink, will take you on a spiritual journey that will change the way you think about God forever...
