Reader reviews for Intensive Care: The Story of a Nurse

From the publisher

This is a nurse's story unlike any other, because Echo Heron is a very special nurse. Dedicated to healing and helping in the harshest environments, she spent ten years in emergency rooms and intensive care units. Her story is unique, penetrating, and unforgettable. Her story is real.
"Compelling reading."
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

First line

HALF-ASLEEP, MY CHEEKS still bearing patterns of pillow wrinkles, I walked behind my father and listened to the holes our footsteps made in the early-morning silence.
