Sterile Read,
By
This review is from: A Long Way From the Cotton Patch (Paperback)
A rather sterile account of a farm girl's career path after leaving the West Texas farm of her childhood. Descriptions and anecdotes of her early life keep the reader's attention, as does her early life alone in Houston. However, upon her graduation from nursing school the book begins to sound more like a resume than a life story.
The book generally lacks emotion. The author simply identifies events without feeling or description. The birth of her child is noted, but the deaths of her father and mother are never mentioned. The author describes the death of her second husband with the detached and callous manner of a charge nurse. The author's life in retirement is told with unbelievable enthusiam. She is obviously very proud of her third husband and their life together. The contrast makes her earlier life seem almost robotic. This book is as sterile as the hospitals of the author's career.
