A series of nineteen first-person vignettes, each describing some aspect of Ms Andrews’ many years of practice as a Public Health Nurse. These are stories about the unsung heroines who travel the back roads of rural Ontario, dispensing medicines, consoling, counselling, and giving compassionate care. We learn that they will brave all weathers to reach their clients, who may be bedridden in freezing cabins and in need of medicine, food, or treatment. We experience the joy of good neighbours, the sadness of unwanted children, and the tragedy of neglected seniors.
