Quality Of Care

Clara Raymond is the kind of obstetrician any woman would want- caring, skilled, dedicated. But she is caught off guard when a pregnant woman is wheeled onto the labor and delivery floor with what seem to be minor complaints. The patient turns out to be Lydia Benson, a childhood friend who saved Clara's life after a terrible horseback-riding accident. And at Lydia's side is her husband, Gordon Robinson, a man whom Clara once loved passionately and then left, although she has never forgotten him. That night, in the labor and delivery rooms, the brief reunion goes tragically wrong. For Clara, the consequences will include a journey to California and to her own past-and a rediscovery of hope in a place she never expected....An involving, nuanced story about the search for healing and the fragility of both our bodies and our souls, Quality of Care is an unforgettable debut by a talented and thought-provoking literary voice.Letts, Elizabeth is the author of 'Quality Of Care', published 2005 under ISBN 9780451214102 and ISBN 0451214102.
