"Female professionals--gay or straight, doctor or other--owe a debt of gratitude for the tribulations women like Grayhall endured to hew the path we now traverse. Reverberating with personal angst and professional certitude, Making the Rounds is about life. I highly recommend it to anyone who's ever lived one." --Adele Holmes, MD, author of Winter's Reckoning "Patricia Grayhall has written a vital and thrilling memoir, the story of a woman figuring out who she is and who she is meant to be. She battles to find love and to do meaningful work in a field dominated by patriarchal values. Most of all her story radiates the power of perseverance in breaking down, brick by brick, the barriers of bigotry." --Steve Almond, New York Times best-selling author of Candyfreak and Against Football "Patricia Grayhall has much to teach us in this well-paced and deeply humanizing memoir of what it means to seek both belonging and love--and to find both, always in the most surprising of ways." --Susan Meyers, Professor of Creative Writing, Seattle University "This is such an important book for so many reasons. Identity. Sexuality. Self-acceptance. Women power. Relationships with others and self. Societal oppression. And so much more. If you have ever felt marginalized or told you could not pursue your dreams because you are the wrong sex, color, ethnicity, or class . . . this book will inspire you to find the courage." --Laura Munson, New York Times best-selling author of This is Not the Story You Think It Is "An uplifting journey of coming out that reads like a fast-paced medical drama." --Radclyffe, retired surgeon and seven-time Lambda Literary Award finalist "Patricia Grayhall's writing style is seamless in the way it flows gently across the pages. She is a very talented storyteller, weaving a narrative filled with fortitude, courage, and passion--I could truly understand the uphill battles she faced to be her authentic self in an environment of patriarchal supremacy and homophobia. I thoroughly recommend this wonderfully written book to anyone." --Alexis Hunter, author of Joy Lansing: A Body to Die For "Well-written, fast-paced, and inspiring--Patricia Grayhall's memoir is an authentic, accurate, and brave portrayal of her lived experience in times that were exciting and expansive, but often confusing, challenging, and uncharted." --Margaret Dozark, MD, Emergency and Internal Medicine Specialist " Making the Rounds is an important piece of history served up in a crisp writing style, entwined with beautiful sensory details. Grayhall's point of view is candid, self-deprecating--at times brutally so--and genuine. She is obviously intelligent and accomplished, but what comes through is her openness and honesty--qualities rarely seen in similar works. This is a book you do not want to miss." --Morgan Elliot, author of Stroke of the Brush and The Crying Chair, "Female professionals--gay or straight, doctor or other--owe a debt of gratitude for the tribulations women like Grayhall endured to hew the path we now traverse.

Synopsis
In the late 1960s, Patricia Grayhall defies societal norms by coming out as a lesbian and dreaming of becoming a doctor--but the free-wheeling sexual revolution and the demands of her medical training complicate her search for the equal, loving relationship with a woman she so desires. Can she have both love and career?, In the late 1960s, Patricia Grayhall defies societal norms by coming out as a lesbian and dreaming of becoming a doctor-but the free-wheeling sexual revolution and the demands of her medical training complicate her search for the equal, loving relationship with a woman she so desires. Can she have both love and career?, What was it like to survive an illegal abortion, come out as a lesbian, and train to become a doctor in the late 1960s and early '70s--before Roe v. Wade , before Title IX, and in a largely homophobic nation? In this unflinching and riveting coming-of-age memoir, Patricia Grayhall battles sexism in a male-dominated profession. She plunges into a life that is never boring--and certainly never without passion. Tossed around in the rough seas of medical training, chronically exhausted and emotionally drained, Patricia chafes at the toxic masculinity of the culture of medicine, facing many of the same issues women face in male-dominated fields today. Although the sexual revolution and women's movement in 1970s Boston celebrate women's desire, one barrier after another prevents Patricia from finding the supportive long-term relationship she yearns for. Will she risk her career to find the love she seeks? "Inspiring, heartfelt, and brutally honest . . . this is a book that will give women and those who care about them the strength and motivation to persevere. . . . " -- Seattle Book Review This book, named one of Kirkus Reviews 's Best 100 Indie Books of 2022, is the inspiring true story of how one woman navigates these stormy seas without signposts to reach her goals--often battered, but never broken.
