Service (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798901742433)

Dr. Kelly Stearns is a single mom running on adrenaline, guilt, and caffeine. When she begins a grueling month-long rotation at Suffolk County Hospital, she faces a relentless patient load, high-stakes decisions, and the annoying presence of Martin Hudson, a surgeon and rival in her research career.

Kelly is under fire at work for a judgment call, worried about her daughter at school, and haunted by decisions of her past. Only her occasional visits to Target, where mysterious women give her advice, bring her peace. But when the hospital responds to a bombing at the Boston Marathon, she has to confront the long shadow of her own trauma and reconcile a past she has tried to bury.

Lyrical, tense, and deeply human, Service is a story of resilience, moral courage, and the quiet triumph of claiming one's own power-on the hospital floor, in the classroom, and in the heart.
