Quotes from the same author

Motherhood didn't make you stronger; it made you vulnerable and afraid of what death could steal from you.
 Tess Gerritsen
I was a writer first, and knew I'd be a storyteller at age seven. But since my parents are very practical, they urged me to go into a profession that would be far more secure so I went to medical school. But after practicing medicine for a few years, while raising two sons (with a husband who was also a doctor) I realized that combining medicine with motherhood was more of a challenge than I could handle. So I left medicine and stayed home. And that's when I once again picked up the pen and began to write.
 Tess Gerritsen
