robert roa, Resident Scholar

"After reading six Sidney Sheldon novels in which I could not put down, Nothing Lasts Forever proved to be another page turner. Sheldon reveals the hardships new women doctors must face as long as the exciting pasts from which each of three women (main characters) prevailed. With a collaboration of twists and turns, Sheldon once again wins my approval. A must read!"
Alexis Foster, Resident Scholar

"The medical thriller 'Nothing Lasts Forever' deals with three female doctors trying to prove themselves in a society dominated by men. Every one of them has her own story which are very well connected to one another.
Suddenly one of Paige's patients dies. She swore it was euthanasia but is she able to prove that? "

Vanessa Hummel, Resident Scholar
