A Surgeon’s Heart is a sweeping, character-driven saga that follows pediatric heart surgeon Jack Roberts as his passion for medicine collides with an evolving healthcare system. Spanning decades and continents, the series traces the lives of those closest to him — family, colleagues, and patients — as they navigate the personal and professional sacrifices demanded by the practice of medicine. At its core, it is a story about one man’s legacy and the enduring struggle to preserve the spirit of medicine in a changing world.
A Surgeon’s Heart: The Calling
Volume I
Dr. Jack Roberts is a prominent pediatric heart surgeon who felt called to the profession as a young boy. His carefully ordered career takes an unexpected turn during a medical mission to the impoverished country of Nicaragua — a turning point that will shape not only his future, but that of his family.
As the story begins, his wife Elaina and adopted son David emerge as central figures in a journey that will span decades and cross cultures.

R. W. Sewell, M.D., practiced minimally invasive general surgery in North Texas for more than four decades before retiring in 2022.
