Life is fleeting. Love is a gift.
Gene Hull is a premed student who will stop at nothing to win back the love of his life. Unfortunately, she's not buying it, and Gene must figure out how to move on.
The novel takes flight with a family vacation as Gene's father, an anesthesiologist driving through the torrid Arizona desert, stops at an accident scene. The accident leaves young Gene horror stricken, but deeply imprinted by his father's heroic efforts to save an injured child.
Years later and hoping to follow in his father's footsteps, Gene, a college student, scrubs and gowns up for the "Heart Room," an operating theater of chilling cold, bone saws, smoke, and macabre humor.
As intimacy and affection slip back into Gene's life, he must confront his own mistakes and untangle the braided strands of love, loss, and reconciliation.
If you like novels where family life is complicated, and parents' expectations trickle down into their children's lives, then you'll love Gregory D. Williams' roman a clef about life, love, and finding one's own true path.
