A NOVEL
    Chrysalis is a story about two women. One is Connie Phillips, editor at a small publishing house in New York City. Connie is a captive of her own sexuality but is ignorant of what her heart truly desires. Margaret Stern, although older and supposedly wiser, is no closer to happiness than is Connie. Margaret, a psychologist and psychoanalyst, long ago cast her lot with her intellect. Both women have forgotten how to love. They meet as patient and analyst.
