This Award-Winning Novel Teaches Compassion and Love

In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Dwinnells shared the
inspiration behind his novel, which was drawn from a personal
experience during his medical school years. He was involved in the
care of an elderly woman battling pancreatic cancer, and through
that experience, he learned profound lessons in compassion and
empathy. We talked about the book’s protagonist, Jack—a medical
student who initially lacks compassion—and how this patient saw
potential in Jack, teaching him the very qualities he was
missing.

Betsy Wurzel and Dr.Dwinnells delved into whether compassion and
empathy can be taught, reflecting on how the medical field operated
in the early 80s. Dr. Dwinnells also spoke about the other
characters in the novel and how they each contributed to Jack’s
personal growth, helping him to discover his true potential.

This book is a love story—between partners, friends, and Jack’s
journey to finding his authentic self. We explored themes of love,
loss, and the enduring power of memories, even after losing a loved
one. Betsy believes this novel will make you laugh, cry, and deeply
touch your heart.
