Medium Well - Donn King

. .

Résumé :
When Skye Jackson starts her new job at the hospital, she wants nothing more than to fit in. But she makes a startling discovery-she can communicate with comatose patients in a way no one else can. At first doubting her own sanity, Skye finds herself helping doctors understand their nonverbal patients better. But as Skye tries to make sense of her strange talent, she faces skepticism and lack of understanding. When her conversations are misunderstood, she fears she could lose not only her job but her own sense of reality. Worst of all, Skye begins to doubt herself. With no one to believe in her unique ability, Skye may betray her true potential, at the cost of her life. She finds unlikely allies in a caf? barista and a hospital social worker. They see Skye not as abnormal, but as gifted. With their guidance, Skye must decide whether to believe in herself or give in to easier paths. Only by embracing her oddity can Skye fulfill her life's purpose and, maybe, save a life-her own, and someone else's. Readers of The Way of the Three-Year-Old Why will recognize familiar characters-Dan and Grace Roberts, Callie Anagnostopoulos, and especially Hope Roberts. You'll also meet Skye Jackson, Irene, Erica, and others who figure into the journey. Although early readers think it's a good story, the lessons that Skye and Dan discover will help you to live your own values and value your life:Learn about believing in yourself when others do not. Confront challenges when you just want to quit. Feel the fear and do it anyway-when you're pursuing a worthwhile goal. Medium Well is a story of self-discovery, perseverance, and learning to accept unconventional strengths. It explores what happens when one must believe not just in inexplicable events, but in one's own ability to rise above limitations, both external and internal. If you enjoyed the books Still Alice, The Go-Giver, and The Vagrant, you will love Medium Well....
