Only Human synopsis

People are always more unhinged in their behaviour with the very person they're closest to - it's the most natural thing in the world.

Marjorie Hemming inhabits a planet where reconciliation is all. A respected counsellor at the Wellbeck Centre for Marital Relations, she regularly claws back couples from the bleakest brinks. In fact, for the troubled souls who brave her modest consulting room, there is nothing she would not do.

But cracks are starting to show in the life Marjorie so carefully refashioned for herself after her early widowhood. The plights and gripes of the world and his wife are keeping her awake at night. And when her adored teenage daughter unexpectedly moves out, dragging her proud, private grief behind her, this professional expert on human affairs is forced to take another look at matters a little closer to home
