White Linen Nurse

An exhausted young nurse on the brink of abandoning her profession accepts one final case: caring for the invalid daughter of the hospital's fearsome Senior Surgeon. What begins as reluctant duty becomes something neither expected. Abbott's 1913 romance crackles with wit and warmth as two exhausted people discover that sometimes the medicine we need most is simply being truly seen. The humor lands sharply, the emotional turns land harder, and by the end you'll understand exactly why readers a century ago reached for this book for comfort. For anyone who believes the best romances are also friendships first.
