Saving Lives
This fully updated and expanded edition of Saving Lives highlights the essential roles nurses play in contemporary health care and how this role is marginalized by contemporary culture. Through engaging prose and examples drawn from television, advertising, and news coverage, the authors detail the media's role in reinforcing stereotypes that fuel the nursing shortage and devalue a highly educated sector of the contemporary workforce. Perhaps most important, the authors provide a wealth of ideas to help reinvigorate the nursing field and correct this imbalance.
Love Find Me
Sandy Summers is living her life to the fullest—teaching art at a local college, enjoying long runs in the forest, and exploring the depths of her faith. Then, her world is turned upside down when she takes in an abandoned teenage girl. Soon she finds her family growing as more children come to her in need of love and support. After travelling briefly to restore her spirit, she meets a widowed senior man named Ted, whom she comforts after the passing of his beloved wife. She decides to move her new family to Ted’s farm, and they launch a sewing business to help make ends meet and to support the growth and development of the children. The family continues to grow as new children are rescued, including a baby boy who comes to them just weeks before Christmas. Through it all, Sandy and Ted struggle to provide guidance, support, and love to their young charges, and to set an example as they explore their potential through a life of faith, commitment, and hard work. This is the story of how the gaps in social services can have a huge impact on the lives of young people, and how love, discipline, and a big heart are needed to make a true difference in today’s world.

Jambusters
The compelling true story that inspired the hugely successful major ITV drama series HOME FIRES – now in its second season. The Second World War was the WI's finest hour. The whole of its previous history - two decades of educating, entertaining and supporting women and campaigning on women's issues - culminated in the enormous collective responsibility felt by the members to 'do their bit' for Britain. With all the vigour, energy and enthusiasm at their disposal, a third of a million country women set out to make their lives and the lives of those around them more bearable in what they described as 'a period of insanity'. Through archive material and interviews with many WI members, Julie Summers takes us behind the scenes, revealing their nitty-gritty approach to the daily problems presented by the conflict. Jambusters is the fascinating story of how the Women's Institute pulled rural Britain through the war with pots of jam and a spirit of make-do-and-mend.
