One Call Away

Following her bestsellers Saving a Stranger’s Life and Holding My Breath, One Call Away invites you to join Dr Anne Biccard on the front lines in the emergency department of a busy Johannesburg hospital. You’ll meet the Eye-roller, the Clothes peg, the Hairbrush and the Crackling Malaprop. Mostly though, you’ll be exhilarated as Anne and her team battle to snatch patients back from their main adversary, the Grim Reaper. Dentures and daggers, acid and aneurysms – it’s all in a day’s work for Dr Anne and the emergency team.

Back home at the farm, the roller-coaster ride continues with the famous band of rescued Snoopies, long walks and reflections. One Call Away asks big questions about life while acknowledging the joy and brevity of it all.

Dr Anne Biccard is a medical doctor who lives and works in Johannesburg, South Africa. She studied psychology and then medicine at the University of the Witwatersrand. She lives with her partner on a small farm where they provide a home to rescued greyhounds (and some other creatures)
