Susie Gigi Stein

A Valentine to America Susie Gigi Stein

In her third novel, Stein uses the past and present musings of writer Julia Fields, as she navigates life in Milwaukee from 2008-2020, to shine a light on what it means to grieve the loss of loved ones, near-perfect health, and a comfortable lifestyle. Julia's daunting medical case-that has most doctors over medicating and under caring-causes her to lose balance fast and forces her to take a hard look at Western medicine and the American healthcare system in general. As she searches for answers that even the best specialists can't conjure, she must learn to live in this new life of uncertainty and solitude.
