That's what the doctors and psychiatrists at Golden Slopes hope to help her discover. In order to get better, Janie must talk about things she's admitted to no one--not even to herself. Ms. Littman is also the author of Confessions of A Closet Catholic, an award-winning novel for readers age nine and up. . She lives in Cos Cob, Conn., with her two children.

The Nine, his most recent book which takes a look into the chambers of the Supreme Court, spent over four months on the New York Times Best-seller List, and the book was named one of the ten best books of the year by many publications including New York Times, Time, Newsweek, and The Economist. Toobin has written three other highly successful books, one on the controversial election of 2000, one on the OJ Simpson case and one on the sex scandal involving President Clinton. Toobin received his bachelor's degree at Harvard College and his law degree at Harvard University where he served on the Law Review. Before becoming a news analyst, Toobin worked as an Assistant US Attorney in Brooklyn. He currently lives in Manhattan.
