Oh, you've got lots to read, then! I hope you'll report on them. Unveiled has a really nice portrayal of PTSD - actually, I love the way she writes about mental illnesses and disabilities in general.
(Better than in Trade Me, I thought. I think it's really hard to depict therapy as healing without the book being about the process of therapy, so if therapy is a possibility, it tends to happen off-page and then the healing drops out of the story. It's a big advantage to write about historical times and other situations where therapy isn't an option, because then you can see people grappling with their issues on-page without the help of a character who otherwise isn't involved in the story at all.)
