Sometimes Mine Book

Karen, this is her best so far! The premise of the book, that a cardiologist is satisfied with her relationship with a college basketball coach whom she meets secretly once a week, is a strange basis for such a good book, but there you are! The main character, Genie, is so realistic and well developed that she nearly walked out of the book and into a nearby doctor's office. The description of her doing a cath on her lover's daughter was so well done that I will avoid such a procedure if at all possible! Martha Moody knows about mother's difficulties in relating to children and in balancing work and personal life. She knows about love and forgiveness. I liked Office of Desire and Best Friends, but this one is my favorite. How Moody, a doctor herself, finds time to write, I don't know, but I hope she's working on another novel right now.

PS. I just googled Martha Moody and learned that she retired from medical practice after the publication of her first book.
"Martha Moody was born and raised in Ohio. She graduated from Oberlin College and received her MD from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, where she also completed her residency training in internal medicine. She has been married since 1985 to Dr. Martin Jacobs; they have four teenage sons and live in Dayton, Ohio. Moody was a private practice internist for 15 years. Currently she is retired from private practice and volunteers as medical director at a clinic for the working poor."
