Noble Vision is the love story
of a beautiful ballerina, Nicole Hudson, who suffers
a brain injury that leaves her blind, and a young neurosurgeon,
David Lang, who is determined to help her. The
surgeon has pioneered a revolutionary new treatment for
repairing damaged nerve tissue to cure paralysis
and other devastating nerve injuries to the brain and
spinal cord. This procedure involves new drugs and
surgeries that must be approved by CareFree, New York’s
state-run health system. However, the system is beset by
cost overruns and other, politically motivated priorities,
so the surgeon cannot get the approval he needs. His
frustrations peak when Nicole Hudson, the young dance star
whom he has been admiring from afar, is
tragically injured—and a perfect candidate for his new
treatment. Ultimately, David Lang must take on the entire
health system to fight for his work, his ideals, and the
woman he loves.
Noble Vision is a nail-biting thriller, a passionate love story,
and a duel of the conflicting ideologies
piercing the heart of medicine today. If the current
healthcare system has ever left you feeling frustrated,
helpless, and afraid, Noble Vision will tell you
why.

INSTITUTE, Health Policy Matters
Asked what moved her to write Noble
Vision, the author replies, “After years of working
in the healthcare industry, I feel as if I’m witnessing
the slow death of something great, something that
shouldn’t be allowed to die—America’s gold standard
of medicine.”
As innovative as its
surgeon-protagonist, Noble Vision breaks the mold
encasing much of today’s fiction. In an age in which
plot stories and character studies, not to mention
romances and thrillers, appear in distinctly separate
categories of fiction, and thought-provoking themes are rare, Noble
Vision combines a rich mix of story
elements in one satisfying read.
Noble Vision is
published by
Winged Victory Press, a Chicago-based independent press
dedicated to publishing books that inspire our highest
potential. “There’s a growing demand for
books that champion freedom, portray our struggles for
individuality, and celebrate the achievement
and joy that result from being free,” says Ms.
LaGreca. Winged Victory Press will also publish the
author’s second novel, The Mysterious Cargo, a semi-finalist in the Pirate’s
Alley William Faulkner Creative Writing Competition.
