–(PR.com)– Fulton
Books
author
Patti
Neri,
a
loving
wife,
mother,
and
grandmother,
has
completed
her
most
recent
book,
“Behind
the
Sixteen
Doors”:
a
powerful
story
that
follows
a
renown
therapist
who
finds
herself
hired
by
a
local
school
board
to
connect
with
and
help
a
group
of
former
exceptional
high
schoolers
who
have
fallen
behind
both
academically
and
socially.

Throughout
her
married
life,
author
Patti
Neri
worked
as
an
executive
secretary,
a
salesclerk,
a
realtor,
a
caregiver,
and
a
golf
starter—to
name
a
few.
She
was
always
volunteering
for
her
church,
sons’
schools,
and
cub
scouts.
After
retirement,
Patti
and
her
husband,
Bart,
moved
to
Florida
and
enjoyed
a
leisurely
life
of
golf
carts
and
nonstop
entertainment
in
The
Villages
until
Bart’s
passing
in
2019.
Now
residing
in
Oxford,
Ohio,
since
2023,
she
loves
the
quaintness
of
a
small
college
town
with
all
the
cultural
offerings
and
diversity
of
a
big
city.

“Dr.
Claire
Thompson
was
renowned
for
her
past
unorthodox
group
therapy
programs,
which
was
the
reason
she
was
approached
by
the
local
school
board
who
needed
her
expertise,”
writes
Neri.
“They
wanted
her
to
develop
an
experimental
high
school
class
for
sixteen
once-exceptional
students
dealing
with
unknown
issues
greatly
affecting
their
school
performance.
Not
only
have
their
grades
plummeted,
but
also
these
teenagers
have
closed
themselves
off
from
their
families
and
friends.

“When
she
agreed
to
take
on
this
project,
Dr.
Claire
had
no
idea
that
working
with
high
school
students
would
be
far
more
challenging
than
she
had
anticipated.
She
had
always
worked
with
adults
who
were
struggling
with
their
work
or
their
home
life,
with
addiction
or
finances.
Her
patients
always
seemed
to
have
a
common
ground,
but
Dr.
Claire
has
no
idea
what
is
troubling
each
of
her
sixteen
students.
She
wants
them
to
work
as
a
group,
so
she
needs
to
come
up
with
one
unique
project
that
will
unify
her
sixteen
students
yet
encourage
them
to
open
up
as
an
individual.
So
far,
nothing
she
has
tried
in
the
past
couple
months
has
worked,
and
failing
her
students
is
not
an
option.

“What
has
personally
traumatized
each
of
her
sixteen
first-period
students?
Why
have
these
intelligent,
promising
teenagers
suddenly
become
apathetic
slackers?
How
can
she
get
these
high
school
students
to
open
up?
What
are
they
hiding
from
themselves
and
others?
What
are
their
stories
that
need
to
be
told?

“These
are
the
questions
Dr.
Claire
Thompson
must
find
answers
to
in
order
to
help
her
troubled
sixteen
students.
If
she
doesn’t,
their
regressing
lives
will
plummet
even
further,
and
they
will
become
lost
in
the
system
forever.”
