When Dr. Newell Paige watched his chief commit a fatal error on the operating table, he decided, out of misguided loyalty, to accept the blame. The scandal that followed forced Paige to change his name and flee the medical profession. But Paige fell in love. And the woman, Phyllis Dexter, was the daughter of the patient for whose death he was wrongly held responsible. Then Dean George Harcourt came into Paige’s life. He was the first person to whom Paige could reveal his secret. How this wise and understanding man gave a new purpose to a doctor’s life and love makes ‘Green Light’ one of Lloyd C. Douglas’ most dramatic novels.
Lloyd C. Douglas was an American minister and author born in Indiana in 1877. He was married and had two children. He did not write his first novel until the age of 50 but was considered to be one of the most popular writers of his time. His works usually had a moral and religious tone. Two of his best known works were The Robe and The Big Fisherman, which were made into major motion pictures. The Robe, written in 1942, sold over two million copies in hardcover alone. It held the number one position on the New York Times Best Seller list for over a year and remained on the list for an additional two years. The film version of The Robe hit the screen in 1953 and starred Richard Burton.
