Fall from Grace: A Surgeon’s Ascent & Fall

By Albert W. Pearsall

“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”

Gautama Buddha

“But remember, nothing comes without a price. Our paths are not mapped; they’re made.”

Priya Ardis

This book recounts the adventures, journey, cataclysmic fall and subsequent redemption of a surgeon. The elements of this novel include an overbearing father, a passive mother, an adventurous childhood, a supportive childhood friend and brothers, an insecure Dean, a paranoid Chairman, a pathologic vixen, a botched surgery, a life-saving surgery, a supportive wife and girlfriend and finally, an understanding of God’s purpose to achieve redemption. The story has many ups and downs and constitutes a ride like few others. Hang on to your seats, readers, as you will bear witness to a man who appeared to have everything, lost nearly everything to poor choices and finally saw the light after facing death in the face. But let me start at the beginning…
