development
by
Krista
Tibbs
The Neurology of Angels is a novel about
the hearts inside the business and
politics of drug development and the
consequences of a choice between saving
one child and treating thousands.
Galen is a neuroscientist and
entrepreneur who loses everything to
develop a cure for stroke. Eddy is a
devoted father who enters politics on a
mission to lower the cost of
prescription drugs. Elizabeth is a
pharmaceutical industry lawyer who is
raising a daughter with a rare and fatal
genetic illness.
Their families become forever entwined
as the three parents engage in a
tug-of-war over a failing system of good
intentions. In the wake, heroes are
born.
Reviews:
“This book
will not only make you cry, it will make
you think.”
-- Merry
Weather Book Blog
“What
Krista T[i]bbs has accomplished through
her novel is to lay out with vivid
clarity the real-world issues facing
national health care today where
competing interests clash, where market
forces and governmental policies
collide, and where good people from
differing perspectives find themselves
having to make life and death decisions
constrained by forces beyond their
control. Superbly written from first
page to last, ‘The Neurology Of Angels’
is highly recommended reading.”

"Quite remarkably, Tibbs is able to
bring the reader into this world and see
the different sides to this very
political and emotional issue."

“I found
Krista Tibbs’ novel a fascinating
portrait of earnest people with good
intentions working at cross-purposes in
a muddled and failing health care
system... I highly recommend The
Neurology of Angels as a novel brave
enough to challenge our misconceptions.”

“I
recommend the book highly as an
emotional and touching depiction of
choices and love and as a great backdrop
for an important debate on health care.”
