Leo Green, a psychologist whose own life is unraveling, is writing a book about finding calm—until chaos moves into his guest room. When his free-spirited mother arrives unannounced, she turns his minimalist sanctuary into a New Age carnival, forcing him to confront patients with petunia conspiracies, a tech bro terrified of dead batteries, and the long-buried truth about his father's final years. *Still Rising* is a warm, witty story about what happens when the therapist becomes the student, learning that peace isn't about standing still—it's about learning to rise, again and again.
