Injured in a brutal attack and uncertain whether she still
can perform as an ER nurse, Riley Hale hopes for
reinstatement while serving as a chaplain, offering comfort
and prayers to patients at Alamo Grace Hospital, the setting
for a new series from Calvert (Mercy Hospital series). To
hone her skills, Riley volunteers at a clinic run by
daredevil doctor Jack Travis, who battles his mysterious
past—and hostile neighbors seeking to shut down the clinic,
which brings clientele to the community considered
“undesirable.” A budding romance between Riley and Jack is
nicely balanced by the couple’s interactions with family,
patients, and co-workers, all toting their own baggage
packed with fear, ulterior motives, and past mistakes.
Calvert, herself a former ER nurse who was sidelined by an
injury, infuses her story with detailed medical procedures
and terminology along with honest questions about faith that
anyone might ask in the face of difficulties. The characters
are likable and receive rich and thorough development in
this enjoyable “hope opera” page-turner.
