Having written a successful surgical textbook that is now selling well all over the world, Dr. Godin is turning his literary aspirations to the popular press. He is in the process of finalizing the plot details for Fighting Gravity, which will be his first novel.

Without giving too much of the story away, it will deal with the personal and professional life of a successful facial plastic surgeon who takes care of a kaleidoscope of patient personalities in his medical practice. It will be funny in many parts, touching in others, and to the relief of Dr. Godin’s patients, will not contain any of them as characters.

While the novel is set in New Orleans where Dr. Godin lived and trained, it will draw on his 19 years of practice experience in Richmond. As with many novels under construction, the completion date is to be determined.
