From the Seattle Book Review:

The medical profession is an odd bird: intimately engaged with human life at its most joyful and most sorrowful and most messy — and also, somehow, always holding itself apart. From William Carlos Williams to Henry Marsh, books by doctors betray that carefully guarded distance.

This week, The Seattle Review of Books is sponsored by R. T. Lawrence, who writes a different kind of doctor book. What we love about the Anchorage physician’s novels is that they close the gap between doctors and the rest of humanity. Lawrence’s second novel, House of Jesus, follows a jaded surgeon to Haiti, just after the 2010 earthquake. Seattle surgeon Phillip Scott (we also love that Seattle setting!) has a classic doctor-knows-best attitude, until he encounters human suffering on a very different scale.

Check out the first chapter from Lawrence’s book, which he’s generously sharing on our sponsor feature page this week only — and we guarantee you’ll be pulled in..

Preorders coming soon! Down Red Creek by Rachael Llewellyn (Book 1 of the Red Creek Series)

ByCassandra Anderson

Fiona Taylor enjoys staying out late with her friends. She hates her mother.  She’s  bored by her high school, and tired of her day-to-day life. A typical teenager, perhaps. 

Except, in some ways, Fiona is not typical. Her mother has forbidden her to enter the basement. A man jogs past their house every day trying hard not to look like a cop. And her mother’s cello case seems to get heavier every time she brings it home. Oh, yes: there’s also a killer in the history books called the Red Creek killer, caught years ago—but is about to become part of Fiona’s life.
