Product Description
Fast-Paced Medical Drama With a Spiritual Twist!

Lauren McCaffrey, an experienced ER nurse, arrives in Dogwood Springs, Missouri, hoping for a fresh start in her career—and a convenient escape from her family's humiliating pressure to find a husband.

Dr. Grant Sheldon transfers to the local hospital, looking for a nurturing environment for his twins, who are still reeling from the death of their mother. But this idyllic setting is not free of all the problems he thought he had left behind in the city.

When the community’s tranquility is threatened by a drug ring and a mysterious epidemic, Grant and Lauren find themselves racing the clock in a desperate search for answers.

Second Opinion combines the best of emergency medicine and small-town America in a story of love’s discovery and a faith that lasts.

5.0 out of 5 stars The start of a great new medical fiction series!, April 21, 2003

By	Soozie4Him (Chicago suburbs) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I read a lot of Christian books, but most of them are non-fiction. I'm very selective about the fiction I read - there's just not enough time to read all the good stuff out there! I used to enjoy reading Robin Cook's medical suspense books, so I was glad to find good medical fiction novels by Hannah Alexander!

The first ones are a trilogy: Sacred Trust, Solemn Oath, and Silent Pledge. I highly recommend all these! Then the authors started a new series called Healing Touch and Second Opinion is the first book in that series.

This wonderful series is centered around a small-town hospital emergency room in Missouri. The medical parts ring true for a good reason - Hannah Alexander is a pen name for a husband/wife writing team and the husband is an ER physician! These books will appeal to both men and women, and contain suspense, drama, a little romance and a lot of inspiration. The authors really make their characters come to life and you will find yourself reading quickly to find out what happens next.

The only downside to these books is that, as of April of 2003, there are only two books in this series! A third will release in May - will there be more from this great author team??

Happy reading!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great story!, January 26, 2003

By A Customer

This book is packed with suspense and action. All the scenes are realistic, and I really liked the characters. I'm already looking for more books by this author.

If you enjoy fast-moving stories with likable characters, you'll like this book.
