Reviews…

Deception by Loretta Enright takes the reader on a journey through the healthcare system. It is a book that should be read by anyone that has questioned medical treatment of a loved one. It also has many unanswered questions to be solved for individuals who love a good mystery. As an 8th grade English teacher who has read many books, this story grabbed my attention. ~ Kim

It made me want to cry, and that doctor made me so mad. ~ Sue

What a wild read! This is good stuff. ~ Richard

This is the stuff nightmares are made of. You feel like a fly on the proverbial wall, overhearing whispered secret conversations between medical personnel.  It’s frightening.                                                                                        ~ Online Book Club

What begins as a fight for his life soon escalates into a battle for his family as the hospital seeks to take guardianship of Nick. Nick’s resilience is both heartbreaking and inspiring. Enright crafts his character with nuance, capturing the delicate balance of hope and despair as he endures surgeries and chronic health challenges. Callista, with her unwavering resolve, is a compelling protagonist. Dr. Loomis stands out as a chilling antagonist. Holcome International Medical Center becomes a vivid and unsettling presence with its sterile corridors, labyrinthine bureaucracy, and morally ambiguous staff. A masterfully crafted novel that delves deep into the emotional and ethical complexities of life, death, and the choices in between.                                     ~ GoodReads Review

Blown away by the venue. Was at the North Branch Arts Fest before Thanksgiving, must’ve been 1000 people there. I sold out my stock of books in the first hour and then ran out of the flyers advertising it on Amazon. I was surprised by the response by those in the medical field. Anger. Not at me, but at the profession because in some cases, it appears deception is the name of the game! These last 6 months have been an adventure. Over summer I’ve been out at vendor shows, talked with many people. When you talk to someone, you hear more than words. You hear their heart and soul. Two people commented on how the story brought to mind their own memories about struggling with medical encounters for family members. One, in the profession, said he couldn’t read the book, won’t read it, too many painful memories in his own life. I thought I was just telling a story, but did I hit a nerve? There seems to be a lot of pain out there because the medical controllers aren’t seeing, hearing, understanding what we are telling them. That will be very apparent when More Deception hits the market. After all, we’re just dummy laymen, right? What do we know? Is it by chance, or their choice? And is that the real reason for the snaky medical caduceus in the word Deception on the cover of the book? You can decide for yourself.
