A friend told me about the book, I got it and read it over a weekend. It is on my shelf with the various "chicken soup" books - and is their equal. I found this book an easy read, satisfying to the spirit. Though the stories are by and for nurses, there are few technical medical terms... these are healing stories. Whether in the medical profession - nurses, doctors - or just a person with interest in life and healing, this is a must read.
