Synopsis
There are all kinds of love in this world, but is it possible to experience that exact same love twice in one lifetime? Dr. Lauren Leonard leads a busy life. She’s the head neonatologist in a small Midwestern town, a mother to a young son, and a wife. When new patient Emma arrives in her NICU, destiny seems determined to force Lauren to revisit her past – and reconnect with an old flame. As baby Emma experiences complications, the only person with the expertise to save Emma’s life is renowned surgeon Dr. Alexander Smithton. A welcome distraction from Lauren’s crumbling marriage, the beautiful baby in her care reminds her not only of what she and Alexander lost but also what a future together could hold. When tragedy strikes, Lauren is forced to confront her past and discover the common thread between who she was, who she is, and who she will ultimately become. Never the Same Love Twice tells the story of a woman who attempts to be all things to all people, representing the continued coming of age of the modern female. This novel will offer hope to readers who are trying to make sense of life experiences and those who choose to turn tragedy into transformation.
