Sunny Alexander

Biography

I was born in Los Angeles at a time when men and women followed their proscribed social roles. In my own case, I married at an early age in the 1950s. Caught up in the social changes of the 1960s and 70s, I returned to school, beginning at a community college level and eventually receiving a doctorate in psychoanalysis. I have been In private practice since 1988.

As a gay, female psychotherapist I write character driven novels that balance humor and tragedy and the interior of the human mind.

My novel, FLOWERS FROM IRAQ, is the story of Kathleen Moore, a closeted Army physician who is injured while serving in Iraq. Faced with a life-altering wound and plagued by nightmares, she has to confront her sexuality and her dark childhood memories.

I am currently writing THE GIRLS, a novel that follows a group of gay women from the 1970s to 2020, a hypothetical future when the United States Senate passes the Freedom to Marry Act.

Wishing you a thought provoking read,

Sunny Alexander
