With less than a year to go before graduation, surgical resident Richard Kurtz decides to spend his summer on an elective rotation at a small hospital in Arkansas. The place seems peaceful enough but when a kid named Ben Saunders comes into the ER with a broken wrist, Kurtz cannot resist getting drawn into a family tragedy that spans two generations.

It's amazing what humans can do when they are pushed to the max!
Intriguing from it's very double-meaning title. The animating style of both distance and scenery is wonderful. Excellent!
A fascinating new writer.

From Within the Firebird's Nest - Preview Sheldon Charles
For decades, the United States and the Soviet Union trained thousands of nuclear weapons on each other—and those were just the weapons we knew about. Behind the military parades and bluster was a shadow war, and some of the deadliest weapons were kept far from the public eye.
From within the Firebird’s Nest is a thrilling story about the resurgence of acrimony from the past. Years after the end of the Cold War, a former KGB agent plans to exact revenge on the United States by reactivating a horrifying bioweapon called the Crimson Firebird.
Our only hope of survival is an unlikely team of international spies and civilians, including a repentant former deputy of the Crimson Firebird Initiative, a former Stasi agent, and an American writer.

She decided to save her lover despise the fact that they are parted the life gave her to be with another man and forget all her sorrow. But she chooses the love!
Elsa Joseph's novels keep the pages turning.! The plot lines are fantastic, the characters seem real and believable and the writing is rich with description. The Best Kept Secret is a novel with mystery, thriller and romantic elements.
Elsa Joseph is a smart writer. I definitely enjoyed reading her books :)
Elsa Joseph does great work depicting the conflict Natasha is feeling over the two loves in her life. Her writing is original and well worth the read.
Refreshing to read a novel written in Third Person. Natasha is someone you can root for. As for London, what a gorgeous landscape to set
your story in. Been there, so the descriptions bring back fond memories. Good pacing, smart dialogue.
