Love, Lies & Lab Coats brings a unusual group of people together at their place of employment, The South Hill Medical Center in Spokane, Washington. An egocentric Surgeon; a brilliant Medical Technologist, an insecure co-worker mending a broken heart, two parking lot attendants from divergent backgrounds, a high priced call girl, a talented chef who overindulges on junk food , a mountain woman hiding from her past, and a sick child, take us on a wonderful journey. They share stories that we will recognize as our own or help teach us something new. These dissimilar characters tackle some difficult yet realistic, everyday issues, through social commentary and soul searching. Some will help us take a step back and hopefully a look within. The road to love, forgiveness, redemption, self acceptance and awareness can be long, discouraging, arduous and extremely challenging. However, these rather colorful characters offer a little something for everyone. So many issues we would prefer to ignore or forget, grab us right in the middle of a love story that develops between an unlikely pair. As the story unravels, they weave their way through their trials and tribulations and will keep you wanting more as they find a place in your heart. I hope you enjoy the ride!

Andy and Theo, both dedicated medical technologists in college, quickly fell in love with each other. They journeyed to become licensed medical technologists and managed to keep their relationship strong despite the challenges along the way. Theo, with his dreams of becoming a doctor, encouraged Andy to join him in this ambitious goal. Andy, a sweet and gentle girl, was the opposite of Theo, who was quiet and serious. Their contrasting personalities strengthened their relationship. Together, they faced the demands of medical school with steadfast support, understanding, and love. As they spent more time together, study sessions turned into heartto- heart conversations, and dates became a return demonstration of their knowledge and skills in the medical field. Their relationship blossomed as they pushed through a demanding academic schedule. However, in the long run, the pressures of their goals caused misunderstandings and tension, leading to a rocky period in their relationship. Since then, questions began to run in Andy’s head like a broken record: Was it the right decision? Why didn’t things go well? Was it bad luck, or did I do something wrong? Why didn’t God intervene to make things better?
