Pleasant story with Sue facing a career conflict, September 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Sue Barton, Neighborhood Nurse (Hardcover)
Sue Barton has been married to Bill Barry for several years in this story. They have three young children: six-year-old Tabitha, and three-year-old twin boys, Johnny and Jerry. Sue has been happy at home taking care of their children, until she and her friend, Kit, visit their old nursing school, and Sue realizes how much she misses nursing. Is Sue's nursing training being wasted as a stay-at-home mom?
During the story, Sue gradually realizes that her training is being utilized in other ways. She does first aid for the neighborhood; and she uses her natural gift for helping people to try to bring her new teenage neighbor, Cal, together with the girl's mother, aloof artist Mona Stuart. But will all this be enough for Sue in place of her formal career?
This book has been a long-time favorite of mine. It also has the advantage of a pleasant New Hampshire summer as the story's background. Sue's career issues are still relevant today. Highly recommended.
