Chasing the Wind — Patricia H. Rushford

When Dr. Drew Hamilton, the beloved surgeon who saved Anabelle Scott's daughter's life more than ten years ago, has a heart attack, much of the staff at Hope Haven Hospital is visibly shaken. But he is so stubbornly assured of his own prognosis and eager to get back to work that he pushes himself too hard. Can Anabelle convince the good doctor to rest long enough to recover? Is there a way to show him how much his health means to those he's saved?

As Anabelle organizes a Parade of Patients for Dr. Hamilton, Candace Crenshaw's mother encourages Candace to join a support group to cope with her longstanding grief over the death of her husband. Elena Rodriguez receives a surprise phone call from Sarah, her granddaughter's mother, who hasn't been heard from since the birth of Isabel, while James Bell works to ease the tension at home over his fifteen-year-old son's desire to join the military.

Meanwhile, a terrible storm hits Deerford, causing accidents all over town. As throngs of injured people arrive at the hospital, the staff hustles to help as many as they can while a few critical patients teeter on the edge. A snap decision by Dr. Weller causes a major logistical problem that leaves many without beds. Can the nurses work together in time to saves lives?
