This book would make a perfect TV show, every episodic.

Toby is a big part of the story, how did you create his character?

Medical research is extremely thorough. I know you're a nurse. How much additional research did you have to do for the book?

How do you do research?

Compulsive hair pulling description very good (pg 99)

Excellent immersion of early twentieth century America - the smell, dust, musty areas

Very descriptive

"We have a saying in the medicine show business - never treat a man who's truly sick." (pg 37)
