Take a sneak peak at my next book!

Published: Fri, 01/09/15

Hello,

I promised I'd share a bit from my next book. Then I chickened out. I'll wait until the editor approves the manuscript.

You'll still get the sneak peak!

9:30 am at St. John's Cathedral in Spokane, I'll be speaking to the Daughters of the American Revolution about WWII nurses and how they survived combat and Japanese prison camp. I'm excited to be able to show some of the historical photographs that didn't make my book PURE GRIT.

Seattle Children's Hospital

I'll be meeting with Emergency Room Nurses on retreat to reflect on their vocation and bond with one another. Every day these nurses care for children who come into the ER, often in critical condition.

My part is to share the courage, resilience and commitment of the POW nurses I researched for PURE GRIT. I'm honored to be a small part of this effort by the Seattle nurses to process some of the demands of their job and return to their important work with renewed purpose.

Thanks to Karrie Zylstra for featuring me on her blog this week talking about what I've learned through the ups and downs of my writing and research process.

Thank you for reading! I know you time is valuable and I appreciate you spending a few minutes with me today. I am always happy to hear your thoughts
