WHAT IS “NORMAL”? That question consumes psychologist Cathy Morgen when she takes on the case of a devastated teenager named Joseph. In the spring of 1961, Cathy receives a distressing call from the director of Summerhaven Mental Hospital in Portland, Oregon: They need her expertise. Over her husband’s angry protests, Cathy drives to the asylum, where she observes a bizarre sight: a kicking, neighing boy behaving exactly like a panicked mustang. What horrors, Cathy asks herself, have caused Joseph to give up being human? Thus begins Cathy’s heart-wrenching quest to unravel the mystery of the talented, traumatized “horse-boy”–and in doing so redeem herself for failing to save a similar young patient. Many people are working against her, including an arrogant chief psychiatrist, a doctor who favors a host of barbaric “therapies,” and her own spouse. Near escapes, brilliant insights, shocking confessions, and unthinkable betrayal will all play a role in helping Cathy discover the true meaning of “normal”…and the key to healing Joseph’s broken psyche. The Thundering is a haunting and uplifting tale of brutality and compassion during the darkest times of America’s mental healthcare crisis.

The central character, Cathy Morgen, is smart and strong and the author keeps the pressure on her all the way to the end. The historical backdrop is fascinating and gave me a keen sense of the shift in the prevailing attitudes toward mental illness and asylums that was occurring during the early 1960s. It also gives a good idea of what professional women were up against at a time when women’s “place” was still at home. I found myself thinking about the novel and the characters, particularly Cathy and her patient Joseph, long after I’d finished the novel.

Each chapter had intriguing twists and turns. Excellent depiction of the psychiatric sector in the '60's of the times, from the worst to the best. Joseph's story is a very professional portrayal of the step-by-step account of the therapeutic process. The interjection of the protagonists personal relationship with her daughter and husband was woven beautifully throughout the story. A must read.

Thundering : Awesomely Great, Intense, or Unusual By booklover Thundering : awesomely great, intense, or unusualWhen Joey is 6 years old, his father packs a suitcase, tells him his mother is resting and that they're going to stay somewhere else until she feels better. His father drives him many miles away and leaves him with a man called Sid. Joey never sees his mother or his father again.Dr. Cathy Morgen is a psychologist called to the Summerhaven Mental Hospital to evaluate a teenager, Joseph. When she arrives, she is startled to see this young man neighing and acting like a panicking horse. Having spent time in a circus, Joseph is called horse-boy.Cathy is immediately taken with Joseph. There are so many questions ... why does he feel more comfortable being a horse rather than a human? Where did he come from? Where is his family? What awful trauma has this child suffered that he willingly gave up being human?While Cathy tries to reach him, she is hampered by the Director of the Mental Hospital, her husband, Joseph himself. But it's a fight she is determined to win.This is such a sad story. It is also a hopeful story. I had moments where I laughed ..and more moments where tears fell.This is such a well-written story. Not a mystery as such, except for what happened to him in the years between 6 and 16. It's a story that needs telling. It's a story about mental health institutions and how they perceive their patients. It's a story about doctors who can only hope and pray they can help in some way. It's the story of a young man who is afraid to love and trust again.This was an amazing book! My many thanks to the author and to Word Slinger Publicity who supplied the book and the opportunity to read in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
