Can you ever really escape your past? Though Staci was bright and beautiful, her life was a nightmare. Growing up in foster care, experimenting with drugs, gangs and guns, falling into twisted relationships with men, she was constantly on the run from predators and peril. When a devastating accident paves the way to escape her tortured past, she jumps at the change to start fresh—live the good life she'd only seen in movies and on TX. Driven and savvy, she creates a new character, studies hard and practices the part—the role of a lifetime, the role that she hopes will redeem her soul. When Staci's path intersects with Santos Rosa, RN, and the team at Medical Center Hospital, she enters a world filled with not only of hope and love, compassion and clinical excellence, but evil and danger. Triolo once again weaves contemporary healthcare and workplace issues into a compelling story.
