Mesmerizing

That is the only word to describe this book.

Dr Marie Heaton never thought that Anesthesiology would be where her medical training would take her; but it is where her passion lies. The closeness she feels with her patients and their families, the ebb and flow of life in her hands makes her want to get up in the morning and do the very best she can for those that are in desperate need of her and her abilities.

Funny how life can change in a split second, and that’s exactly what it did when Marie’s life collided with that of 8 year old Jolene Jansen. What started out as a routine surgery ends up making Marie question every aspect of her life. And when her safety net, the hospital and staff that she has given her life to turn on her, where is she to go. Joe Hillary, her friend and ex-lover is there for her, but at what cost. If she could just stop the demons in her head and think through what went wrong, maybe, she alone could find the answer.

At least she has her sister, her rock of support, but to go home, she must also confront her father and their fractured relationship. Maybe it’s never too late to go home; they both just need for it to be home.
