The McCall Initiative: Episode 13
Description
Piper knew she was violating her Junior Student Assistant contract by treating the president's gunshot wound. Still, it's a complete shock when she's kicked out of the program. While her mentor believes there's hope, it hinges on Piper going before the medical board to plead her case. If she fails, she'll lose her position … and potentially any chance of getting into med school.
While she's managed to stay strong since the rescue team returned from FreedomCorp with her little brother, her best friend Bailey fears that Piper is in denial about the deaths of her mom and grandpa. Logan and Jefferson come to agree as Piper struggles to maintain her optimism at the expense of reality. But what can they do to help when she insists on pushing them away?
The McCall Initiative is a story told in serial form. If you're a fan of edge-of-your-seat dystopian thrillers with a twist of romance, you'll love Lisa Nowak's glimpse at a future that's all too plausible. Great for fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent, and Legend.

Person
In addition to being a YA author, Lisa Nowak is a retired amateur stock car racer, an accomplished cat whisperer, and a professional smartass. She writes coming-of-age books about kids in hard luck situations who learn to appreciate their own value after finding mentors who love them for who they are. She enjoys dark chocolate and stout beer and constantly works toward employing wei wu wei in her life, all the while realizing that the struggle itself is an oxymoron.
Lisa has no spare time, but if she did she'd use it to tend to her expansive perennial garden, watch medical dramas, take long walks after dark, and teach her cats to play poker. For those of you who might be wondering, she is not, and has never been, a diaper-wearing astronaut. She lives in Milwaukie, Oregon, with her husband, four feline companions, and two giant sequoias.
