About the author

Ms. Seifert wrote more than 80 novels during her lifetime.

From an early age she wanted to study medicine but was thwarted by poor health and family disapproval. She did manage to study physiology and anatomy and after graduating from Washington University, she became a clinical secretary in a hospital. During the years that followed, she grew to understand something of the lives, emotions and problems of the people that made up the medical profession. With this knowledge, she began to write.

Sometimes published in German and Spanish as Elisabeth Seifert.

Reviews

[joyce lynn]

i've read one of her books before, but it was MANY MANY moons ago, so didn't remember her style.

this book, tho, was VERY dry. read much more like a boring personal journal or diary, than a book or novel. wasn't because of too many medical terms either! i just did NOT like the writing style used in/on this book.

There is nothing about this book that I like. The doctor is married to a woman he does not love, having an affair with his secretary who is also married (the excuse is that her husband is paralyzed) and then he falls in love with another woman. Icky.
