The Last Patient

Two people, filled with long-held and covered-up secrets, one, Maggie Stinson, who is about to retire from her job as a hospice social worker, and the other, Israel McKenzie, who is "retiring from life" because he is dying, cross paths and find themselves on opposite sides of the question, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" As Maggie tries to help Israel repair the scattered pieces of his broken past, she finds herself having to face her own long-buried demons. But what the two of them discover is a secret that has been hidden from them their whole lives, a secret that once discovered changes both of them forever. The Last Patient is a story about regret, truth, and redemption. David Johnson, author of the best-selling Tucker series and The Woodcutter's Wife brings us another of his trademark "books with heart." The Last Patient is a book that will leave you thinking long after you've finished reading it.
