Young Sharon Garrison
was eager to start work as head of the clinic at KSEA-TV Media Center. She
would be responsible for the running of the entire clinic and the care of all
those who worked at the center. Her association with Mercy Hospital had ended on
a sour note, after her uncle Elliott Garrison had been named hospital
administrator. Suddenly friends and acquaintances treated Sharon with
exaggerated caution or as if she could directly influence hospital policy, and
the young nurse had felt it best to look for a new position. At the Media
Center, Sharon also hoped to gain some insight into her parents. Concert
musicians, they had sent Sharon to Boarding school and to live with her aunt
and uncle rather than spending time with her. How could people be so absorbed
with the entertainment industry that they neglected their own child? What was
the fascination it held? Sharon quickly became involved in the center and
caught up in its excitement. Charming and capable, she won the respect and
affection of Skip Richardson, who was eager to give her a screen test, and Paul
Hamilton, the handsome boss of KSEA-TV. And she even befriended the young
picketer, Chuck Baker, who seemed to have a grudge against the station.
Misunderstandings seem to be the rule rather than the exception in Sharon’s
love life, however, and it is not until the exciting climax that the young
nurse’s future seems certain.
