Synopsis

Andrew Jones was once one of the few surgeons in the world to have that rare, God-given ability called The Touch. But after failing to save his young fiance, Faith, at the scene of a car accident, Jones abandons his gift and shuns the operating room. Lara Blair owns a Chicago-based biomedical engineering company developing a surgical tool that will duplicate precisely the movement of a surgeon's hands, reducing or eliminating failed surgical procedures. Lara has pursued the best surgeons in the world to test this surgical tool, and all of them have failed. As Lara pursues Jones' skill for her project, Jones' stubborn resistance cracks, and he begins to open up to her about the wounds that still haunt him. But when Jones discovers the urgency behind Lara's work, he must choose to move beyond his past. As each is forced to surrender secret fears, they are bonded together through the lives of the people Jones serves and by the healing secret that Faith left behind.

Goodreads review by Thera on August 15, 2019

Fantastisch boek, maar ik hou dan ook van het snijvlak medisch-technisch. Het geloof in wonderen, de vrijgevigheid en een vleugje romantiek erbij maken het helemaal af. Niemand wil een spoiler, dus daar laat ik het bij. Ik zeg: lezen!......more
