Miracle for the Neurosurgeon by Lynne Marshall

That device wasn’t what completed Wes, nor was it responsible for his success. The occasional walk around the room, thanks to advances in technology, was simply another skill to add to his repertoire. It was a chance for a guy who gets tired of looking up peoples noses all day, to stand and walk from time to time using an exoskeleton.

What I did in the epilogue wasn’t meant to be a cure for his disability. Overall, the book is excellent and I highly recommend it!” She was very complimentary about the story, but had some reservations: “I would have been happier enjoying a HEA with a character who was successful in a wheelchair without the miracles of modern technology. I was touched by a recent review from a reader who is also in a wheelchair. I also loved learning how para and quadriplegics can drive, and wrote a scene where Wes takes Mary out to a special restaurant in Malibu, California. It opens the door for his return to work as a neurosurgeon, a calling he has felt since his teenage years. Wes, being the man he is, immediately upon learning of this device, orders one for himself. He could continue doing surgeries while safely supported and strapped into his chair. I learned about an amazing Orthopedic doctor who devised a wheelchair that, using hydraulics, could lift him from sitting to standing. She is also the one person who can bring love into his life again.ĭoing research for the book and discovering all the strides that have been made for paralyzed patients was fascinating. This is a story about a reunion between two strong willed people, and Mary is the perfect person who can both help Wes heal emotionally and physically to the best of his ability. So, I set out to give a guy whose life has been turned upside down from a spinal cord injury, a completely different plot. I’m a romance writer and reader first and foremost. I won’t lie, reading the beautiful tragedy Me Before You by JoJo Moyes put the idea for this book in my head. Mary is the person from his past who holds the key to his future. Of course, he isn’t a real prince, he’s just been treated like one by his family his entire life. Mary Harris, a doctor of Physical Therapy, shows up on his doorstep to help the previously privileged, pampered and sometimes arrogant “Prince of Westwood” turn his life around. Wes Van Allan, a new paraplegic wants to continue with his medical practice as a neurosurgeon, but he goes about it all wrong. With the guidance of my editor, Flo Nicoll, I was able to keep what could have been a downbeat story upbeat and filled with hope. This is the first time I’ve written a disabled hero in a wheelchair. Miracle for the Neurosurgeon will also be my twenty-fourth book for Harlequin. Miracle for the Neurosurgeon is my nineteenth Medical Romance and I’m super happy about this particular story. Twitter A story of love, hope and strength
