Boone\, author of Mother Charity\, in conversation with retired FBI Special Agent turned novelist Dana Ridenour\, author of the Lexie Montgomery Series\, on Thursday\, July 25\, at 5:00 p.m.\, at the Conroy Center (601 Bladen St.\, Beaufort). \nBooks will be available for sale and signing. Seating is limited: please reserve in advance to attend this free author event: 843-379-7025. \nAbout Mother Charity\nEvolving from a naive girl to a competent female surgeon\, Elizabeth has survived the first round of surgery training. What happens next will change her or the hospital forever. After barely surviving her first six months as a trauma intern at Charity Hospital\, Dr. Elizabeth Roberts is exhausted from the long hours\, senseless violence\, and breakneck pace. Despite the tough experience\, she has grown to love New Orleans-its food\, culture\, music\, and people. But now she must endure the hardest rotation in the hospital\, led by her nemesis… who doesn’t think Elizabeth even belongs in the world of surgery. \nNavigating the brutal and exhilarating world of trauma surgery\, she wants to do her duty\, but has bitten off more than she can chew. It’s great training for a surgeon\, but the emotional toll on a previously sweet\, young southern lady may be too much to bear. Once the young doctor discovers what she has to give up to overcome her challenges\, the question arises: will she continue to pursue her dream? If so\, at what cost? \nThis sequel to Martha Boone’s novel The Big Free continues the gripping story of an intern in surgery and all the trials and tribulations that come with it\, from devastating horror to ribald dark humor. \nAbout the Author \nMartha B. Boone\, M.D. was a surgery resident and urology resident at Tulane and trained at Charity Hospital in New Orleans from 1985- 1991. She is one of the first one hundred women board certified in Urology in the United States. Boone retired from the practice of urology after 35 years to travel and write. \nShe was challenged by her mentor Dr. Norman McSwain to memorialize the great Charity Hospital in her novels. Mother Charity is her third book and the sequel to The Big Free. She is also the author of the nonfiction book\, The Unfettered Urologist. \n  \nAbout the Interviewer \nDana Ridenour is the award-winning author of the Lexie Montgomery FBI Series: Behind the Mask\, Beyond the Cabin\, and Below the Radar. Ridenour is a retired FBI special agent who spent most of her career as an undercover operative. She now lives and writes in the South Carolina lowcountry. \n  \n  \n\nThis program and others like this would not be possible without your financial help for which\, as always\, Pat Conroy Literary Center gratefully thanks you.
