Nancy Kimball, Nurse's Aide
by Carli LaklanIt was Nancy's first day as a Nurse's Aide at big Mercy Hospital. Would she be chosen to stay on after her trial period? Not the way she was starting off, Nancy thought. But she had to make good. There was nothing Nancy had ever wanted as much as this chance to be a part of hospital life, to take care of the sick, to run errands for the doctors whose skilled hands made so many well again. Nancy learns that there are good reasons for all the rules; a life can depend on whether or not the least important rule is broken. As she realizes the importance of knowing how to handle responsibility, she finds herself growing up--not only in her own eyes but in those of Ned Collins, the good looking high school senior who wants to become a doctor himself. Even stern Nurse Simms decides, "Nancy, you will be a good nurse, if you study and work hard." And Nancy knows she has received high praise.

I Never Promised You a Rose Garden
by Joanne Greenberg Hannah GreenHailed by The New York Times as "convincing and emotionally gripping" upon its publication in 1964, Joanne Greenberg's semi-autobiographical novel stands as a timeless and unforgettable portrayal of mental illness. Enveloped in the dark inner kingdom of her schizophrenia, sixteen-year-old Deborah is haunted by private tormentors that isolate her from the outside world. With the reluctant and fearful consent of her parents, she enters a mental hospital where she will spend the next three years battling to regain her sanity with the help of a gifted psychiatrist. As Deborah struggles toward the possibility of the "normal" life she and her family hope for, the reader is inexorably drawn into her private suffering and deep determination to confront her demons. A modern classic, I Never Promised You a Rose Garden remains every bit as poignant, gripping, and relevant today as when it was first published.

American Plastic: Boob Jobs, Credit Cards, and Our Quest for Perfection
by Laurie EssigPlastic surgery has become "the answer" for many, and in American Plastic, sociologist Laurie Essig explores how we arrived at this particular solution. Over the last decade there has been a 465 percent increase in cosmetic work, and we now spend over $12 billion annually on procedures like liposuction, face-lifts, tummy tucks, and boob jobs. In this fascinating book, Essig argues that this transformation is the result of massive shifts in both our culture and our economy - a perfect storm of greed, desire, and technology. Using plastic surgery as a lens on better understanding our society, Essig shows how access to credit, medical advances, and the pressures from an image- and youth-obsessed culture have led to an unprecedented desire to "fix" ourselves.
