Seeing Zoey by Margaret Hertel

Despondent over problems with her lover, the gorgeous but naive Nora Fairchild seeks comfort and a dinner date, with her ex, Zoey Hennessey. Zoey, the consummate professional psychotherapist, cares enough about Nora to sincerely try to help. Nora falls apart in the restaurant and they withdraw to Zoey’s house. Against her “consummately professional” best judgment, Zoey invites Nora in — in to the house they once shared. That ill advised invitation sets off four days of constant togetherness, brought on by unwelcome occurrences ranging from the innocuous to the irritating and from the amusing to the profound. Being spotted together causes gossip and speculation among their friends and outrage from their significant others. Along with Nora, we begin to see Zoey from a completely different perspective. These ensuing events lead Zoey to a new self-awareness, a declaration of genuine passion and tenderness, and at long last, love.
