About the Book

Set in 1880s New York and based on the little-known story of America’s first nursing school, Bellevue, where nurses are prized for their discipline, intellect, and moral character, and only young women of good breeding need apply. The historical novel is a fascinating story of one woman’s search for identity and independence. ebook icon Audio book icon
