One of the best books of 2018 according to The Guardian and The Sunday Times. A touching, lyrical, masterfully created story about the difficult profession of nursing and the people she helped. Christy Watson, a British author and former health professional with 20 years of experience providing emergency and other types of health care to both children and adults, reminds us of what is common to all of us, without exception, and the important role played in our compassion in life. “We can only hope that those who care for us will treat us with kindness, compassion and selflessness. But is it possible to instill these qualities? Are they inherent in humans or are they transitory? Since Darwin declared that morality preceded religion, altruism has been studied by scientists, theologians, mathematicians, evolutionists and even politicians, but the origins of human kindness still remain a mystery.” (Christy Watson)
