I read this book many years ago and wished to find it again. Hoping that the one in your offerings was the right one, I ordered this, and am so glad to have found that it is the really valuable account of the student life of this wonderful nurse. It is personal and profession al all at the same time.

This is a great true story, written by an Ace of a writer, Ms. Heron. As a former English Teacher I was impressed by her flowing prose and the use of vivid details. Wonderful, harrowing and poignant in places-just like life itself. I read it in two days and literally looked forward to it. She has also written some fiction.The cases are disturbing, the hospital pettiness maddening, and always compelling.
I enjoy reading these types of books, have a huge collection of Betty Neels books and though I'd try something with a little different story line. The books is excellent and I couldn't put it down, read it in a couple of days. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes books about the medical profession
I HAD BOUGHT THIS SAME BOOK A FEW YEARS AGO, AND I LOST MINE LAST YEAR. SO I FINALLY FOUND ANOTHER ONE. TO ME THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MEDICAL BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ. ONCE YOU START READING THIS BOOK YOU WILL NOT WANT TO PUT IT DOWN. ALL OF ECHO HERON'S BOOKS ARE REALLY GREAT. AND WELL WORTH READING....
