DESCRIPTION:Author Melissa R. Collings discusses her new book "The Love Op
 eration.".\nhttps://gwinnettpl.libnet.info/event/17111287
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><em>A brilliant spine surgeon gains the po
 wer to perfectly recall her past- only to discover that some memories are 
 better left undisturbed. A witty\, emotional story about the intersection 
 of medicine\, memory\, and the messy reality of loving imperfectly.</em></
 p>\n<p>Dr. Cordelia Wren has always been in control- of her surgical caree
 r\, her emotions\, and especially her memories. But when she joins a cutti
 ng-edge memory enhancement study at her hospital\, she gains an unexpected
  ability: the power to vividly relive any moment from her past. It seems l
 ike the perfect opportunity to analyze her failed relationships and finall
 y understand why every man she&rsquo\;s ever loved has walked away. There&
 rsquo\;s just one problem. Actually\, three: She may have&hellip\;borrowed
 &hellip\;access to the highly restricted memory study. She&rsquo\;s secret
 ly dating the hospital&rsquo\;s new COO while competing for chief of surge
 ry- a relationship that could destroy both their careers if discovered. He
 r first love has just reappeared in her life\, stirring up feelings she th
 ought she&rsquo\;d buried.</p>\n<p>As Cordelia dives deeper into her past\
 , the lines between memory and reality begin to blur. The truth she uncove
 rs forces her to question everything she thought she knew about love\, amb
 ition\, and what it means to be &ldquo\;in control.&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>With h
 er career hanging in the balance and her heart pulled in two directions\, 
 Cordelia must decide: Should she trust the memories that have shaped her l
 ife\, or finally let go of the past to embrace an uncertain future?</p>\n<
