Code Blue means more to Dr. Cathy Sewell than the cardiac emergencies she faces. It describes her mental state when she finds that returning to her hometown hasn’t brought her the peace she so desperately needs. Now two men compete for her affection; the town doctors resent the fact that she’s a woman and a newcomer; and the potentially fatal heart problem that results from one of her prescriptions may mean the end of her practice. Then there’s someone who doesn’t just want to run her out of town—they want her dead.

Using his journal entries after the death of his wife as a starting point, Dr. Mabry writes with compassion and practicality about such things as facing holidays and anniversaries, combating funeral flashbacks, reviewing the souvenirs of a lifetime, and resigning your commission.
