The Quarry

By Laurie Loveman
The Quarry by Laurie Loveman digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

 

Dr. Jessica Malloy, the physician in charge of the emergency room at Woodhill Memorial Hospital, is losing a beloved patient.  In the process, she finds her emotions torn between her feelings for Woodhill Fire Department First Aid Lieutenant Eli Sheffler and her patient's son, Boris Hegerty, the foreman of Liberty Sand & Gravel.     

 

Woodhill is faced with the possible closing of the quarry that employs many Woodhill men.  Mining expert Aaron Chandler is hired to evaluate the quarry's future, but in doing so, he is brought face-to-face with a devastating revelation from his past. 

 

More trouble literally explodes in Woodhill when an accident at the quarry seriously injures Boris. Boris' life-threatening injuries inadvertently unite Aaron Chandler with his past, and create questions about everyone's futures.
