Book: REBIRTH

The note below is from a new sister in the ward whose name is Sandra Olsen. She has some exciting news to share with us:

I just had my first novel published in July. It is a medical thriller (I'm a nurse) and has nothing foul or offensive in it. I have several copies if anyone would be interested in buying one. It is called REBIRTH and it is also available at www.amazon.com and at the Barnes & Nobles site.  Here is a summary of the book:

What is the value of a human life?  In our modern hospitals, the ethics of choosing who will live and who will die becomes a daily drama between the patient, family and doctor.  If someone you loved was dying, and you had it within your power to save them, would you? Even if it meant someone innocent had to die to do it?

That is the dilemma facing Dr. David Franklin. Elizabeth Franklin is dying of the same rare genetic brain disorder that killed her mother. He has the money and medical knowledge to obtain the stem cell tissues needed for the experimental surgery that could save her. But does he have the right to create embryos solely for that purpose?

When does the cost become too high?   The life of an innocent infant hangs in the balance, as one nurse struggles to prevent Dr. Franklin from killing her to save Elizabeth. When experimentation becomes murder, how much are we willing to excuse?



They are $15 for a softcover and $20 for a hardcover. It would save on shipping and my author's discount makes it a little cheaper.

Sandra's been given 5 stars by those who have read her book and commented at the 2 different sites.  Congratulations Sandi!  What a neat accomplishment!!
