"Unscrupulous Choices"
This is the story of one extraordinary day in the life of Mandy Robinson, a seasoned ICU nurse at a prestigious California hospital. A widowed mother juggling the emotional fallout of her own grief and the chaos of raising a defiant teenage son, Mandy is constantly pulled between the demands of home and the life-and-death urgency of her profession.
At work, she finds solace in service—helping others endure their darkest hours even as she struggles with her own. Her patients that day include a disillusioned Vietnam War veteran who has lost his will to live, and a wealthy La Jolla socialite with a shadowy past whose condition draws her family into a bitter, high-stakes confrontation.
Threaded through the day’s events is a quiet but powerful debate over end-of-life choices—where what is legal isn’t always ethical, and what is ethical isn’t always allowed.
Blending emotional gravity with unexpected moments of levity, this story offers an intimate window into the unseen world of a critical care nurse—where compassion, resilience, and the human spirit collide in a single, unforgettable day
We all live in an unforgiving world that slowly chisels away at our sense of well-being. But, I offer you a temporary respite from this uncomfortable onslaught and introduce you to “Soldier On”. A true story of my late wife’s 15-year losing battle with ovarian cancer. The biography is told through my eyes, her husband of 30 years and an RN for 40. It's a tale of how those seemingly innocuous life lessons that she learned before cancer had inadvertently prepared her to deal with the profound challenges she faced after the cancer diagnosis. I witnessed Kath's unbelievable calmness while she confronted a long drawn out uncertain future. It's a courageous tale of a strong woman. It is her story. Hopefully, even though she died in the end, understanding how she faced her death, will leave you just a little bit stronger and remind you of what is really important in life.

Cat Lady on Amazon Review: We make decisions every single day. Some are big and some are small. But almost all of our decisions affect other people to some extent. Every decision has consequences. Mr. Sesnak gives us a peek into a day in the life as an ICU nurse. The characters really come to life. I enjoyed getting to know Nurse Mandy
Cat Lady on Amazon Review: We make decisions every single day. Some are big and some are small. But almost all of our decisions affect other people to some extent. Every decision has consequences. Mr. Sesnak gives us a peek into a day in the life as an ICU nurse. The characters really come to life. I enjoyed getting to know Nurse Mandy and her son, Robbie. I want to know what tomorrow brings to them both.
D.R. on Amazon review: "Having recently lost my wife of 40 years I found this book to be very therapeutic. It seemed that my wife and “Kath’s” lives were very similar. I highly recommend this book to others who have experienced the loss of a long-time friend, companion and lover."
