Nicholas Lewis had been a highly respected child psychologist for more than thirty-five years in Boston. His clients’ parents were some of the most prominent people in the state of Massachusetts. Not that it had mattered to Dr. Lewis. He genuinely cared about his patients. He’d done his undergraduate studies at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, moving to Massachusetts to do his post graduate studies at Harvard. He’d never left. After retirement a couple of years earlier, Dr. Lewis moved down to Hyannis on Cape Cod, most famous for being the Kennedys’ summer escape. His decision delighted his children. His wife, Mary, had suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for most of her adult life and was now confined to a wheelchair. Dr. Lewis bought a lovely beach front house, easily accessible to downtown Hyannis. The grandchildren seemed to enjoy the location. Mary loved to sit on the porch and breathe in the ocean air. He’d found contentment. Mary and Dr. Lewis took their breakfast into their sunroom.
