Taking care : the story of nursing and its power to change our world / by DiGregorio, Sarah,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."In this sweeping cultural history of nursing from the Stone Age to the present, the critically acclaimed author of Early pays homage to the profession and makes an urgent call for change. Nurses have always been vital to human existence. A nurse was likely there when you were born and a nurse might well be there when you die. Familiar in hospitals and doctors' offices, these dedicated health professionals can also be found in schools, prisons, and people's homes; at summer camps; on cruise ships, and even at NASA. Yet despite being celebrated during the Covid-19 epidemic, nurses are often undermined and undervalued in ways that reflect misogyny and racism, and that extend to their working conditions--and affect the care available to everyone. But the potential power of nursing to create a healthier, more just world endures. The story of nursing is complicated. It is woven into war, plague, religion, the economy, and our individual lives in myriad ways. In Taking Care, journalist Sarah DiGregorio chronicles the lives of nurses past and tells the stories of those today--caregivers at the vital intersection of health care and community who are actively changing the world, often invisibly. An absorbing and empathetic work that combines storytelling with nuanced reporting, Taking Care examines how we have always tried to care for each other--the incredible ways we have succeeded and the ways in which we have failed. Fascinating, empowering and significant, it is a call for change and a love letter to the nurses of yesterday, today, and tomorrow."--

Saving Face A Novel [electronic resource] : by Shah, Mansi.aut; CloudLibrary;
People love a rags-to-riches story. But they hate an imposter who lies to get ahead . . . To all those who know her, Ami Shah is the epitome of glamour. She has unapologetically leveraged her privileged upbringing as the daughter of Indian aristocrats in Singapore to build her American skincare empire, Amala—a business that’s now set for a dream acquisition by a Fortune 500 company. There’s just one problem: she’s not the real Ami Shah.  Forty years earlier, a girl named Monica Joseph is abandoned at the Gate of Hope, a Singapore orphanage attached to a convent school. Given how she comes into the word, the most her academic prowess and etiquette earns her is a job as a maid for Ami, a schoolmate from the upper-class Shah family. Working a menial job with no other opportunities while Ami applies to university and then business school causes Monica to nurse a quiet rage at the unfairness of life. Until Monica steals not only Ami’s acceptance letter from the London Business School but also Ami’s identity and starts a whole new life on the other side of the world. And miraculously, she almost pulls it off. When “Ami” is nominated for a life-changing entrepreneurial award and the media wants to learn her origin story, Monica’s carefully constructed persona and life’s work are in jeopardy. Monica knows there is only one surefire way to cover her tracks. She must return to the scene of crime, the place she vowed never to revisit: home.

Olive, again / by Strout, Elizabeth,author.;
And now Olive returns, this time as a person getting older, navigating her next decade as she comes to terms with the changes--sometimes welcome, sometimes not--in her own life. Here is Olive, strangely content in her second marriage, still in an evolving relationship with her son and his family, encountering a cast of memorable characters in the seaside town of Crosby, Maine. Whether it's a young girl coming to terms with the loss of her father, a young woman about to give birth at a baby shower, or a nurse who confesses a secret high school crush, the irascible Olive improbably touches the lives of others. Elizabeth Strout has achieved greatness by brilliantly laying bare the inner lives of ordinary people, by focusing on the small moments of connection which can dislodge lifelong grief and longing, and unite her characters through moments of transcendent grace. Olive, Again is another lasting work of fiction by this remarkable writer, and a cause for celebration among readers everywhere.

When Emily runs into her high school best friend, Gen, at a cocktail party, that heartbreak comes roaring back.
