Life Support, A Grace Medical Novel by Candace Calvert
Lauren Barclay is an ER nurse working for Grace Medical when Elijah Landry’s brother Drew is brought in. Elijah and Lauren have a history. Her family believe he is responsible for her sister Jessica’s problems. Because Elijah is a PA at the same hospital their paths continue to cross. Lauren seems to be her sisters keeper, trying to keep her out of trouble, get her to school and work on time and making sure she has eaten. In the mist this chaos a hurricane is soon to hit their area. Elijah wants to be there for his brother who is disabled from a traumatic brain injury he suffered as a child. His father will do everything in his power to keep him away. Lauren and Elijah fight to keep those they love safe and find themselves fighting an attraction to each other.
The author Candace Calvert covered some very difficult subjects. Mental illness, suicide, and long term care were all addressed with love and knowledge. I found I could relate to both Lauren and Elijah because I have a adult child that suffers from mental illness. The author also hinted to Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans a few years ago. Her knowledge of New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina were factual. I love the references to my beloved state.
I want to give a high-five to the author Candace Calvert and publisher Tyndale for bringing compelling Christian books that are entertaining and give hope to the reader with stories of faith. I won a copy of this book through a FaceBook contest.
