Sacred Trust (ER Trilogy #1)
When Lukas Bower accepts a position as ER doctor in Knolls, MO, he manages to make enemies before he sets foot in the hospital. The senior doctor feels threatened, a hospital benefactress dislikes the way Lukas handles her dying mother, and a member of the hospital board is furious at the suggestion that his son is an addict. Dr. Mercy Richmond doesn't know what to make of the new guy and his discussions with patients about God, but he gradually draws her out of her shell and gives her the courage to face her ex-husband in a custody battle she hopes to win this time. Alexander (The Healing Promise) expects readers to know what the medical slang stands for (e.g., DNR, blood gas, epi, CT), but her story is enjoyable nonetheless.Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
