I loved this book! I couldn't put it down. It's a really good book that is not a mushy mushy book. It has a good story line without a lot of lovin' ;-)

Here is a medical thriller that is about an black woman obstetrician who is fighting to save the lives of babies and her career. The book is written by a woman obstetrician so the details are authentic and on the cutting edge.

Dr. Rae is haunted by a memory of her dying mother in an ambulance, and subsequently, is driven with a passion to save the lifes of her high risk OB patients. When mothers begin dying on the operating table, Dr. Rae seeks to understand what is happening, and is unknowlingy thrust into a world of decit and consiparcy. Excllent plot, keeps you up well past midnight because you can't unearth your eyes from the twists and turns. I NEVER would have guessed the ending, very shocking after a nail biting climax. If you enjoy medical stories, or a classic murder mystery, this book's for you!

Excellent!!

Not a big fan of medical stories but this one was very well written to grab you from page 1 and keep you until the last page, however, there is a lot of repeat in it about what is happening and a lot of that can be skimmed. Liked the fact that there is a little romance in it but not much and you don't have to wade through boring details of kissing, etc.

Wow - what a story! This turned out to be a very good, haunting, mysterious book. You feel so sorry for the patients and the doctor that make this seem so real, and actually, it is something that could very well happen. VERY GOOD!
