her slip through his fingers....
Author Note
Dear Reader,
Have you ever known a people pleaser, someone who will do anything to
keep others content? Perhaps you are one. If so, you know what a huge
undertaking making everyone happy can be. Impossible, even. Yet Polly
Seymour, RN, plods ahead with her challenging life insisting upon
sprinkling seeds of joy everywhere she goes, whether a person wants
those seeds-of-joy tossed their way or not.
On the other hand, we may all also know the proverbial curmudgeon. The
person who has been kicked in the teeth by life once too often, someone
who has forgotten what it’s like to be a part of the huddled masses
yearning for something better. Most observers would give up on him and
his sour moods. But someone astute at reading people, like Polly,
recognizes a man with a big heart, even if he doesn’t want to admit
it. Because any man whose day isn’t complete until he’s said
goodnight to each of his hospitalized pediatric patients can’t be all
bad, right? Meet Dr. John Griffin.
Throw these two most unlikely people together on a busy orthopedic
hospital ward, let them duke it out—her killing him softy with her
charm; him coming off gruffer than he intends—and watch the sexual
sparks fly. It just goes to show, you never know which small gesture or
annoying invitation might reach inside another person’s heart and
start the healing.
Now, imagine running into someone your first day on the new job, someone
who will change your life, but all you feel is annoyed. Imagine being
the newest employee on the ward and still having the nerve to approach
the head of the department with a grand idea. Imagine two damaged
people, struggling to make it through each day using completely
different coping mechanisms. Now, meet Polly and John, two people I hope
you’ll root for as they stumble and fumble their way toward that often
elusive prize—their very own happy ever after.
Welcome to NYC Angel’s, the hospital that won’t turn anyone away.
What an exciting story you have written! I am certainly rooting for Polly and John, and your continued writing books that speak from the heart. (C Culp 7:35am August 7, 2013)
