In Oxygen, Carol Cassella’s taut novel, Dr. Marie Heaton, an assured anesthesiologist
at the top of her game, is forced to face the personal and professional fallout of an operating
room disaster. Marie finds herself on the losing end of dollars-and-cents medicine in a
medical malpractice suit, questioning herself, her skills, her colleagues, and her life choices.
I couldn’t wait to race to the end to see how her story played out and I wasn't disappointed.

Author of Broken for You:
In her debut novel, Carol Cassella has crafted a rich, layered tale. This medical mystery is told with lyric grace and deep compassion. Like her protagonist, Carol Cassella has the heart of a poet and the mind of a physician; the result is a striking meditation on the complexities of love, the fragile miracle that is the human body, and the burdens and blessings of being a healer. Closing this book left me with a sense of wonder, gratitude, and hard-won redemption.
