Satisfaction Guaranteed: In Chicago A New Metaphorical Journal, Pre-quel to Pee Up a Tree: Mental Health Memoir

ABOUT JIM HENSON AND SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: IN CHICAGO - Young lovers from California make the trek to Chicago via the Trans-Canadian Highway.

Upon arrival, they encounter a wonderful and diverse landscape filled with an abundance of warm, genuine, caring and strange characters whose customs entertain and mystify.

1966-1969 - a tumultuous period that witnessed the winter of deepest snowfall, the Democratic National Convention/police riot of 1968, and the aftermath of the death of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Reader beware: this is no straightforward history, more aptly described as a metaphorical journal.

As seen through the eyes of graduate student and fledgling psychotherapist Jim Henson, Satisfaction Guaranteed:

In Chicago will take you on a seriously humorous trip all around the town.

Masterful story telling about the exploits of ordinary people in the style of Garrison Keillor and James Herriot. Author Jane Kirkpatrick has referred to Henson's writings as "inventive, irreverent and therapeutically wise."
