Lifelines — C.J. Lyons

A gripping behind-the-scenes drama of four women who face life and death every day.

July 1st -- Transition Day. The day new staff at Pittsburgh's Angels of Mercy Hospital start their jobs, including L.A.-transplant Dr. Lydia Fiore, the new ER attending physician. Not a good day to lose a patient -- especially not the Chief of Surgery's son. To save her career, Lydia must discover the truth behind her patient's death, even if it leads her into unfamiliar -- and risky -- territory.

At least she's not alone. There's med student Amanda, a sweet Southern belle with problems of her own; Gina, a resident with a chip on her shoulder; and Nora, the take-charge nurse with a cool head but a fiery temper. The four women will learn to depend on each other in their fight to save lives -- because sometimes everyone needs a lifeline.
