Lively, touching, engaging reading for fans of \u003ci\u003eCall the Midwife\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAll Creatures Great and Small.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJulia MacLeod shares unique and enchanting experiences as a nurse in rural Scotland. Her stories will ring true with every nurse--or anyone--who has ever cared for a family or a community, whether in Scotland or America. \u003ci\u003eCall the Nurse\u003c\/i\u003e is a delightful read.\" --LeAnn Thieman, author \u003ci\u003eChicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMary J. Macleod and her husband left the London area for an idyllic place to raise their young children in the late sixties, and they found the island of Papavray in the Scottish Hebrides. There they bought a croft house on a small acre of land, and Mary J. (also known as Julia) became the district nurse. At the age of eighty, she first recounted her family's adventures in her debut, \u003ci\u003eCall the Nurse\u003c\/i\u003e, where she introduced readers to the austere beauties of the island and the hardy charm and warmth of the islanders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe anecdotes in this new volume take us to the end of her stay on Papavray, after which the MacLeod family left for California. Once again, we meet the crofters Archie, Mary, and Fergie, and other friends. There are stories of troubles, joy, and tragedy, of children lost and found, the cow that wandered into the kitchen, a distraught young mother who strides into the icy surf with her infant child, the ghostly apparition that returns after death to reveal the will in a sewing box. There are accidents and broken bones, twisters that come in from the sea, and acts of simple courage and uncommon generosity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere again, a nurse's compassion meets Gaelic fortitude in these true tales of a bygone era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-6797493\"\u003eMary J.
