Disclosure: I received a free book from Rockstar Tours; opinions shared are mine.
Forgive me for the late post! I was away from the computer and didn’t get to schedule my post, which should have gone up yesterday. If you’re a fan of medical dramas like Grey’s Anatomy, The Snow White Effect is a story you don’t want to miss.
Initially, I was thrown off by the changing of characters with each chapter. Then the pattern became clear — Dale, Emma and Russell, Richard, Addison. It’s also easy to spot the snake in the grass! I felt my heart pulled in several directions throughout these character changes. From a mom’s perspective, I felt terrible for Addison, thinking of my own daughter and how I want her treated by medical staff. As a wife, my heart broke for Dale and his unfortunate loss of a lifelong love. As a woman, I wanted to throat punch The Snake In The Grass!
What’s most terrifying about The Snow White Effect is that a similar scenario could easily happen to any of us. How many times have you trusted your doctor’s advice? How many of us have felt confident in our ability to discern right from wrong? How often do we expect to have one more day, even one more hour, when we’re not promised another second? This is a story that really hits close to home because you just never know when you could be the one on the other side of the page.

Dale knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Cindy from the first moment he saw her. Forty years later, nothing has changed. She is his best friend, his soul. When she dies shortly after having an elective procedure at Kendal Slate Memorial Hospital, he is left heartbroken with a million unanswered questions. Dale may not have a fancy medical degree, but he is convinced medical malpractice killed his wife.
At thirty-eight years old with four children and a promising medical career, Emma Speck is living her dream. Being a doctor married to a surgeon, she finds comfort and normalcy in their hectic lifestyle. When her beloved life of chaos is brought to a screeching halt after she receives a phone call no one ever wants to get, Emma is forced to question everything she once believed in.
Surgical department chair at Kendal Slate Memorial Hospital, Richard Oakley makes no apologies for his successes or failures. When his department comes under fire for harming patients, his attitude is no different; medicine isn’t perfect. Despite his attempts to ignore the meritless accusations, they’re not going away. In fact, the accusations are mounting, bringing with them elements of his past he had hoped to keep suppressed.
Having children was always a part of Addison’s plan. However, after suffering a miscarriage that nearly killed her, Addison decides it’s time to stop trying to get pregnant. Instead, she opts for a surgical procedure that will end her hopes of conception. The surgery, unlike her fertility, is straight forward and safe. The hospital, Kendal Slate Memorial, is reputable. Why wouldn’t she trust her doctor?
Four individuals. One hospital ignoring the truth. In this case, what you don’t know can kill you.
