Title: Necessary Measures Author: Hannah Alexander Publisher: Bethany House ISBN: 0-7642-2529-4 Genre: Inspirational/Medical/Suspense
In Book Two of The Healing Touch series, Dogwood Springs Hospital is thrown into an uproar when administrator William Butler takes an extended medical leave after he collapses from a mysterious illness; and E.R. director Dr. Grant Sheldon travels to St. Louis to ward off malpractice charges from a case at his previous hospital.
The dreaded Dr. Mitchell Caine seems to take over everything (including Grant's office) and alienates much of the medical staff. Struggling with his own personal storms, Mitchell goes from grumpy, to downright hostile, firing nurses that cross him one too many times. Even quiet Beau faces Dr. Caine’s antagonism.
Meanwhile, on the home front, Lauren McCaffery has agreed to keep Brooke and Beau Sheldon out of trouble–or at least try to. Behind her back, Brooke and her friend, Evan Webster, delve into the seedier side of town and become targets of the local meth dealer, Peregrine.
Lauren’s world collapses when she gets the news that an explosion has claimed the life of her beloved brother, Hardy. It’s all she can do to finish her shift in the ER without being fired by Dr. Caine.
Besides the lawsuit, Grant finds more trouble than he bargained for. He makes the shocking discovery that his mom has the beginning signs of Alzheimer’s. How can he get her the help she needs when she’s so stubborn?
Things heat up in Dogwood Springs when 13-year-old Oakley Brisco dies at school from a meth overdose. Brooke and Webster take bigger risks to get evidence of Peregrine’s involvement.
Can Lauren and Grant come to terms with their losses? Will Evan and Brooke succeed in stopping Peregrine from killing again? Or has hope deserted them all?
The unique mixture of medical mystery, and inspirational messages filled with hope and the love of God is what makes the writing team of Hannah Alexander so popular. Get Necessary Measures for yourself or a friend. | |
