About the Book
"Bill Browning heads the trauma unit at San Francisco's busiest emergency room. With his ex-wife and daughters in London, he immerses himself in his work and lives for the little time he can spend with his children. Rising star Stephanie Lawrence has two young sons, a frustrated husband, and not enough time for any of them. Harvard-educated Wendy Jones is a dedicated doctor trapped in a dead-end relationship with a married colleague. And Tom Wylie's popularity with women rivals the superb medical skills, but he refuses to let anyone get close. These exceptional doctors are chosen to work in Paris on a unique project with their counterparts in a mass-casualty training programme. But after an unspeakable act of mass violence, their temporary life in Paris becomes a stark turning point: a time to face hard choices - with consequences that will last a lifetime"--Back cover
