Fără cale de întoarcere

Four trauma doctors travel from California to Paris to train with French peers. They plan to learn how to treat victims of mass disasters. Then an act of mass violence puts their skills to the test. Danielle Steel blends medical drama with romance for readers drawn to work, love, and family under strain.

Each doctor brings private troubles to the trip. Bill Browning runs trauma care at San Francisco’s busiest emergency unit. His former wife and daughters live in London. He fills his days with work and rarely sees his children. Stephanie Lawrence has a growing career at UCSF in Mission Bay. Her two young sons and husband get little of her time. Her long absences have left her husband frustrated.

Wendy Jones trained at Harvard and now works at Stanford. She has become involved with a married surgeon, with little hope for their future. Tom Wylie works at a medical centre in Oakland. He attracts women with ease but keeps them at a distance. In Paris, he meets Valerie, a French doctor who shows no interest in his charms. She is 42, single, and has no children.

The crisis forces the doctors to rethink their lives and ties. Some bonds break, while others face tests that bring new closeness. The story explores how sudden loss and danger can change love and duty. This translation comes from the novel titled Turning Point.
