A revolver purchased on a Tuesday. A wife who can read the signs on his face before he speaks. A surgeon with everything—skill, status, a marriage built on real love—standing at the edge of losing all of it to addiction he can no longer hide.

 

Burnt to the Bone follows Dr. Michael Geller through the collapse and reckoning of a life built on brilliance and secrecy, and the unlikely family—his wife Elena, and an orphaned boy named David—who refuse to let him go. A story of relapse, grace, and the terrifying work of coming back to yourself.
