Durban based clinical psychologist and writer Dr Rani Samuel has just launched her new novel titled In Search of Daniel, which tells a story of forgiveness, healing and hope.
As a clinical psychologist, Samuel has extensive experience in the area of emotional healing and wholeness, guiding people through healing journeys from heartbreak and grief.
What Rani Samuel’s ‘In Search of Daniel’ is all about
Dr Rani Samuel’s novel In Search of Daniel is about a strapping, young Daniel who discovers a devastating family secret on his eighteenth birthday.
As his life spirals out of control, he embarks on a journey of healing from the mountain slopes of Cape Town to the heart of Rwanda and the ancient cities of Israel.
The book has already received positive reviews from local critics and specialists in the field of psychology, including specialist psychiatrist Dr Alicia Porter.
“In Search of Daniel is therapy for the soul. It is beautifully written and is a reading experience. It invites you to examine yourself, pick up your purpose and continue on the journey set out for you,” she said.
Literary editor Nick Cowley added, “[It] is a page-turner that I couldn’t put down. I identified with the characters and visualised them as real people or imagined actors playing them in a film or TV version – always a sure sign that one is enjoying a fictional work.”
Mirolyn Naidoo of Gate Ministries in Sandton also praised the novel’s “amazing spiritual imagery, insight and detail.”
In Search of Daniel is available on Amazon here. You can also follow Dr Rani Samuel on Facebook here.
