Eagles, Doves and Vultures ebook

Retrenched lawyer Garfield sets up a new business offering stressed-out high achievers a four-day program to help them get their lives back on track. He does this through a wellness retreat at a resort hotel in Noosa on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. An idyllic setting with a dark history. He guides six participants as their issues are identified and discussed in group and individual sessions. They are encouraged to be open and honest in all their deliberations and to collaboratively seek solutions. In contrast, Garfield is deceiving his wife and the participants with his secret lover Claudia, a psychiatrist, who joins him at the resort and furtively watches the participants. Marcus, a retired judge; Callum, a physiotherapist; Bryony, a professor of philosophy; Felicity, a family lawyer; Carlo, a former managing partner in big law; and Larry, a MAGA-loving MP, come together. Passions are aroused and secrets exposed as personal and wider issues are discussed. Tensions boil over at the final debrief. Who are the eagles, who are the doves, and who are the vultures? You decide!
