Overview

At forty-seven, Dr. Emily Carter is supposed to know what she's doing. She did, once. Twenty years on the front lines of a Boston ER, a quiet reputation for being the doctor you wanted on the worst day of your life. Then a six-year-old boy died on her watch - and a review board found that she had been below the expected standard of attentiveness for the three to five minutes that mattered - and Emily packed a Lexus and drove fourteen hundred miles to a small-town hospital where nobody had heard of her. Mercy General is underfunded, understaffed, and beloved by the town it serves. It is also one regional acquisition away from disappearing entirely. Emily plans to keep her head down, do the work, and not get attached to anyone or anything. Then she meets Daniel Reeves. A widowed general surgeon who has spent the last decade learning what grown-up grief actually requires, Daniel is steady, patient, and quietly observant in a way Emily is not used to being seen by. He is also the first person in fourteen months to recognize what she's carrying - and the first to tell her she doesn't get to run every time it gets hard. Across a single Minnesota winter - a midnight blizzard, a child Emily nearly loses, a woman who drives nine hours to look her in the face, and a corporate executive holding the hospital's fate in a leather portfolio - Emily learns what it means to belong somewhere on purpose. Second Chance at Mercy General is a slow-built, emotionally honest contemporary romance about midlife reinvention, the long quiet work of recovering from a loss that wasn't entirely yours, and the small-town hospitals that hold whole communities together. Perfect for readers of Robyn Carr, Kristan Higgins, and Patti Callahan Henry.
