Synopsis

0.63 seconds. That's the amount of time Angela Brennan has to process the oncoming truck that destroys half of her family and irrevocably alters her life. Not long after the accident, death intervenes once more and snatches her remaining family member. Facing life alone, Angela returns to work as a cardiac surgeon, saving other people's lives, but questioning why hers was spared. Desperate and distraught, Angela makes the decision to join her family by taking her own life. Before she acts on her plan, however, she receives an anonymous note indicating that her daughter's death could have been avoided. The information provides Angela with renewed purpose and she becomes determined to find meaning in her catastrophic loss. Ignoring recommendations, Angela confronts the healthcare power brokers and discovers lies, complicity, and corruption at the highest levels. As she uncovers the truth about her daughter's death, barriers are thrown in her way that threaten to destroy all she has left: her career and reputation. As the suspense mounts, spirits start communicating with Angela, causing her to question her sanity. But as her science-based world continues to disintegrate, she accepts her new reality, and her mission to transform her pain into purpose becomes clear. Devil's Grace follows Angela's path from devastation to redemption, as her decision to choose hope over despair and kindness over cruelty tells a timeless, yet timely tale, of the freedom that accompanies true forgiveness.

In the prologue we meet protagonist Dr. Angela Brennan as she digs up the gun she’d buried near her home. We learn “the pistol was as pristine as the day she’d purchased it. First, do no harm—a line from the Hippocratic oath she’d taken when she’d earned her medical degree from Dartmouth. And she wo......more

I have not cried so much over a book in a long time. As always, I have to call into question some of the medical lingo and hospital jargon, but overall I think it was fairly accurate, if not pretty cheesy. And I wouldn’t go basing your theology on this one. But the plot is captivating and the messag......more

Just finished up the Audible version and really enjoyed it! Loved the New England setting with its salty characters . The plot was very engaging and I could not have predicted the outcome. It was great listening to the author read her own work, as it really adds to the experience. I look forward to......more
