Book Review: Mental Cruelty by Dr. Lee Kronert '86
by Charlotte Babb, M.A.
In this novel written by Sherman alumnus Dr. Lee Kronert, main character Lenny Spencer is devastated when he realizes that all his ideals of married life are summed up in the phrase that his ex-wife claims as the basis for their divorce: mental cruelty.
The soul searching of a self-described “boy in a man’s body” reads more like a Christian testimony than fiction. Lenny tries to understand how he could have so completely misunderstood the woman he married, and how he could have failed so miserably to make either her or himself happy.
The descriptions of the many conflicts of the marriage are contrasted with Lenny’s expectations based in his Christian faith. His assessment of the main problem – “we both wanted to be the man” – is very telling. Kronert explores the father’s side of single parenthood with his three children as Lenny teaches full time and runs his chiropractic office, as well as acting as a lay preacher to a small congregation. His teaching salary supports his ex-wife, and his practice supports him in a small apartment.
Kronert’s character Lenny praises Sherman College and espouses and explains the straight chiropractic philosophy. To see that philosophy entwined in a general interest novel was exciting.
Lenny meets the woman he feels is his soul mate through his chiropractic practice, and again he struggles with his faith because his soul mate is married to an abusive husband. Lenny’s personal growth through his struggles makes this book a good case study for taking a hard look at unexamined values and expectations before getting married.
Kronert published Mental Cruelty in 2010 through Tate Publishing & Enterprises, LLC, a family-owned, Christian-based organization. Kronert resides in Salamanca, NY, and is a 1986 graduate of Sherman
