For many years, there have been speculations made about  the nature of the relationship between Sigmund Freud and his  sister-in-law, Minna Bernays. It has long been suggested that they  were lovers and confidantes and even that Minna conceived Freud's  child and underwent an abortion. These theories have been fueled from  valid sources, such as Carl Jung, who stated that Minna, in a fit of  distress, confessed a sexual relationship with Freud. Freudian  scholars appear divided on the issue of the nature of their  relationship.    This work must be considered fact-based fiction -- drawn from actual  events, dates, and circumstances taken from Freud's letters and  biographies but with fictional dialogue. Living in Vienna just blocks  from the old Freud household while researching this book, the author  retraced the documented travels of Freud and Minna, trying to provide  authentic details, down to hotel names, whenever possible.    One thing is certain. Minna Bernays did live with the Freud family for  many years and was working closely with Freud for at least ten of  those years translating, proofreading, and editing manuscripts, as  well as accompanying him in travel.    Because of the intimate nature of their relationship, Minna has been  all but obliterated from Sigmund Freud's family history. Certain  documents and pictures are sealed until well after the year 2000 in  accordance with the wishes of Anna Freud, his daughter. The truth  about Minna and Freud's relationship remains with these documents.
