NURSE ANDERSON’S CHOICE [A White Cap Romance Classic, Book 2] by Alice Brennan

TO CURE THEIR BODIES, WOULD SHE HAVE TO FIRST CURE THEIR LIVES?

This classic novel of romance and medicine deals with the timeless challenges and rewards experienced by nurses working with the people and communities who experience the worst living conditions and need the most support.

Nurse Arleen Anderson grew up in a small, prosperous town, never knowing what poverty was really like. Suddenly a new assignment thrust her into one of the most economically depressed areas in the city of Saltboro. Soon Arlene faced the question of whether she had the courage and love of nursing to cope with the tragedies and personal dangers that confronted her every day. For nothing in her past life prepared her for...the filth, squalor and crowded conditions in which the people she had to help were forced to live. ...The woman with eight children, who refused all medical help because she didn't care if the ninth she was carrying lived or died. ...The five-year-old boy who hid in corners because he had been hit so often by adults. ...The woman whose illness kept her trapped in bed, with a drunken, raging husband. ...The teen who had been physically abused by his father until the only way he knew to prove himself a man was to become leader of the toughest pack of delinquents in town. ...The adolescent girl with no future or education who had to stay home and take care of her infant sister because her mother and father were passed out drunk every day.

Arleen wanted to help them all—but the people she knew, the other nurses, her roommate Evelyn, her supervisor Miss Gibbons, and Guy Newman, the handsome young businessman who had proposed to her—all said the same thing: Arleen should stick to being a nurse and stop trying to be a social worker—as a nurse it was her duty to mend their bodies, not their minds.

Arleen knew there had to be a way, and she was determined to do everything she could to find it. Yet there remained the biggest obstacle. The only one she was sure she could never conquer: The wolf-pack of young toughs who threatened her with assault—and worse—every time they saw her. The one bright ray in her life was Mark Wynter, the cynical physician who knew what it was to be poor and without health care and believed, "we can't truly heal their bodies until we can change their circumstances." Yet his actions seemed to belie his words—for he was always there for his patients, whatever they needed, and his every action gave Arleen the courage and hope she needed.
