Magnificent Obsession
A celebrated brain surgeon has spent years teaching himself to live above fear, and the effort is killing him. Exhausted, widowed, and worn down by a reckless daughter, he is on the verge of collapse-until a drowning on a quiet Michigan lake takes his life and hands it, by a cruel accident of timing, to a spoiled young heir who never earned it.
Pulled half-drowned from the water and patched up in the famous clinic the surgeon built, the young man learns what his rescue cost. The knowledge settles on him like a debt he can never repay, and he resolves to spend the rest of his life being worth the breath he was given-quietly, anonymously, asking nothing in return.
But good deeds have a way of being noticed, and the woman he comes to love has reasons of her own for keeping secrets. Across years and two continents, a careless idler must become something better than he was, or lose everything that made the struggle worthwhile.
