Pasta! Vino! Hill Towns! Coins in the Fountain will transport you to Italy where you can find out what it's really like to live the expatriate life. It's all here in the story of a couple who said "NO!" to middle age boredom and made a dash from a small-town in Oregon to cosmopolitan Rome when the author went to work for the United Nations. In between actually working there were Italian weddings to attend, music to be heard, a close-up with the Pope, travel with the wine club and country weekends in Umbria where the Etruscans still seemed to be lurking about.

It is also a poignant and simple narrative based on the true life experiences of a sixteen-year-old girl from the time she really decided to become a nurse, to later years when qualified. It is an irreverent look back with great humour, based on things that really did happen, and an inspiration to tell it like it is. Hopefully this will enlighten the reader about what really used to go on behind the nursing scenes! Both Sides of the Coin could be considered autobiographical, but the reader will have to make their mind up once they have read it! Both Sides of the Coin is meant as a tribute to the hard work and dedication of a bunch of sixteen-year-olds who made not only a difference to patients' lives, but also to each other. Compared to the society we live in at present this is a refreshingly naïve view of when a career in nursing was a decent honourable way of life. Hard work was the norm, hilarity was the rule – read on and judge for yourself!
