The College Shrink
by William Haylon
Life is hard. Too hard for many of us to navigate alone. That’s why we sometimes need to reach out to someone to help us understand it all.
To keep pointing us in the right direction. Emily had spent her entire life trying to be one of the good ones. Trying to make a difference. As a daughter, student, spouse, mother, friend, citizen, employee, church goer, workout partner, and lover. The whole time at an elite university in New Jersey, where she had been an undergraduate student, received her Master’s Degree and PhD, and has now worked as a psychologist in the school’s counseling department for almost twenty years…

About the Author
Bill Haylon is a married father of four living with his wife on the beautiful Southcoast of Massachusetts. A graduate of Williams College and Harvard Business School, he spent a number of years launching start-up businesses before turning his creative efforts to writing novels. Both efforts, it turns out, begin with a blank piece of paper. Bill has written three novels: I’m Will (2012), The Missing Something Club (2014), and The College Shrink (2022).
In addition to raising a family, a big part of Bill’s life has been helping to launch (nineteen years and counting) The Nativity School of Worcester, an independent, all scholarship school for kids of all ethnicities and faiths. A magical place where students can realize their many capabilities and build a path to a more productive life.
All proceeds from book sales are donated to the school.
