Sue Barton Visiting Nurse

This book follows "Sue Barton, Senior Nurse". In this story, Sue and her best friend, Kit, move to New York city; and join the Visiting Nurse service. Sue's duties take her from the Lower East Side to Harlem. There are many vignettes, humorous and touching. Not all Sue's duties are medical. She helps a lonely Polish new mother find neighborhood friends; and she helps a kind old woman realize her dreams of travel, (Sue secretly donates the money she had saved for her own trousseau for the trip). This leads into a surprising reward for Sue herself.This was a good story. A highlight of the book was the wedding of Sue and Kit's friend, Connie, which takes place in "The Church Around the Corner". It is a beautiful and romantic scene. Recommended.

I have read all the books in the series as a young girl. I love them very much. Today I am nurse. I have read all the author's novels. Now I am Collector of books that I have read in the past.
