Dr. Jack Murano dreams of having a happy family. But how is it possible when they don’t know about his father being in prison for murder? The dire need to reveal the painful past finally comes to him during the frightening malpractice lawsuit filed against Jack Murano by his close friend after a crime was committed in the operating room. The monster of alcohol, the main reason for father being in jail, heavily hangs over both, snatching even his son, Mike. Dr. Murano suddenly realizes his family’s future, his professional integrity, and personal health all are in stake. He fears that, because of his past, three generations of Murano's will be damned, and the family, he worked to foster the entire adult life, will crumble. The story is set in sunny Southern California, with an eventful trip to North Carolina. It’s also about how heavily the personal life can affect a surgeon's performance in the operating room. The entire plot is woven around the whodunit medical mystery drama. But the overarching theme of this novel is about the unbreakable bond of father-son blood ties, ties which last forever. Perfect for readers who cherish stories of family, resilience, and second chances.
