Fear Differential [Large Print]

By Gene Cardema

Fear Differential is a universal story of transcendence. It follows Maria, the main character, as she confronts her deepest fears and learns to navigate her outer world by turning inward and trusting her inner guidance. She enters the demanding world of nursing na ve and fragile at first but gradually emerges strong, confident, and capable of facing the challenges in both her professional and personal life.

As her marriage crumbles, Maria unexpectedly falls in love with a patient, rediscovering joy within herself. Surrounded by suffering and witnessing countless patients in their final moments, she uncovers her own truth amid the harsh realities of medical crises. Even as she faces betrayal from toxic co-workers, she learns to move with grace through the everyday battles of working in a transplant unit.

Her path to self-discovery eventually leads her to a peaceful Buddhist retreat center, where she journeys through her inner landscape and experiences a profound sense of homecoming. Immersed in nature, she reconnects with the world on a deeper level. Though she feels renewed after surrendering herself to the silence within, life presents her with an even greater test of faith.

Through loss, death, and divorce during the Covid era, Maria finds the courage to move forward by embracing acceptance and allowing life's currents to carry her much like the old man in the river from her childhood memory.

Ultimately, this is a story of triumph over adversity of transforming wounds into wisdom, and of how her unwavering belief in a Higher Power guides her through every obstacle. Maria's journey mirrors the shared experiences of countless nurses working tirelessly in the trenches of modern "sick care."
