Publisher's Synopsis
They say it's the little things that count.
Maybe it was a touch of megalomania, but Martin Reiner ached to make a difference by helping people. It was the whole reason he became a nurse. Whatever happy, heroic work he imagined result in big changes, reality was much darker: less like a frolic in a field of dreams and more like rolling boulders uphill in the dark.
The general ward bustled with intersecting lives, touching only briefly. Most days, Martin longed to glimpse beyond the veil of time to see if anything he did even mattered. Other days he wasn't sure he wanted to know the answer to that question.
