The Floodplain tells the story of Professor Rick Forester, his wife, Chloe, and their two children, whose lives are forever changed when Chloe, a fledgling psychotherapist, becomes romantically entangled with her mentor, the charismatic psychiatrist Dr. Evan Kendrix. Kendrix, a leading interpreter of techniques in humanistic psychology, lures Chloe with promises of success and an exciting new life, but Kendrix is not what he seems, and as things spiral out of control, Rick must struggle to keep his family together. Set in 1970s America, Anthony Robinson's riveting new novel deals with themes of action and inaction, guilt and innocence, as they play out against the backdrop of an era that challenged sexual and cultural norms.
