Ash

by Daniel Wallock

Mourning the loss of a young patient, famous heart surgeon Dr. George Ash is fighting depression.

He is completely disengaged at work, sleepless at night, and meanders through the urban jungle of Los Angles highrises and sprawling cemeteries.

His boss, Cheryl, forces him to speak at a cardiology conference in Boston accompanied by an exuberant hospital volunteer named Matt.

Matt, a romantic encounter with a young nurse named Erin, and a weekend in Boston push George over the emotional edge.

Reviews

[Leslie Fisher · Rating 2 out of 5]

Dramatic short story about a heart surgeon named George Ash. This is the second in the series, and I actually read this book before the first in the series. I will admit that without having read the first book, this one seemed a little pointless, but after going back and reading the first book, this one became more enjoyable. This book within the context of the first book was interesting and I'm looking forward to the third installment of this series.
