Title: Sharon Garrison, Clinic Nurse
She is credited on the front dust jacket flap.
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.
Title: Nurse Brookes
His signature is in the lower left-hand corner.
Helen Brookes had left
Byng’s Hospital to get married … and come back again, her engagement broken.
She had made one distressing, almost disastrous mistake; now she would be more
careful, she told herself, more clear-headed about her own emotions. All of
which did not prevent her from falling in love with a surgeon who, it seemed,
was not free to marry.
Title: Society Nurse
His initials are just below the car’s license plate.
Love sick. That’s what
pretty Nurse Nina Bateman was, though she knew handsome, wealthy, dedicated
Doctor Mark Danover was way out of her league. Then Mark asked her to take a
private case, caring for a beautiful young heiress, Cindy Calvert, who happened
to be Mark’s next-door neighbor. Was he looking for a competent nurse, or, as
his manner suggested, was there something more behind Mark’s request?
Everything seemed wonderful, until Nina met Cindy and her domineering mother.
Nina realized before introductions were over that she couldn’t stand the
haughty Mrs. Calvert. And what was worse, Mrs. Calvert made it obvious she
thought Mark would make the perfect husband for Cindy! How could Nina compete
for her heart’s desire against the ambitious scheming of her lovely young
patient’s overpowering mother?
Title: Nurse of the Crystalline Valley
Her signature is in the lower right-hand corner.
Meredith Hale looked out of the bus window
and gloried in what she saw: beautiful snow-capped mountains, snug little
houses tucked beneath snow-covered trees. A virtual paradise! Meredith had left
her unhappy home to accept a nursing job at Mountain Hospital in Crystalline
Valley. Her mother, Blanche, and her second husband, Warren, had separated, and
Blanche relied on Meredith for companionship. But now Meredith was out of that unhappy,
tense situation. She was looking forward to a more relaxed life with Jill
Nolan, a longtime friend, and three other girls. She would be able to make a
living and enjoy the resort area. Skiing had always been one of her favorite
outdoor activities, and the prospect of winter sports during her off-hours was
very exciting indeed. What she did not anticipate, however, filled her with
increasing confusion. Her relationship with Lotus Johnson, one of her
housemates, deteriorated, and she became involved with several men: Günther Wahl, the handsome ski
instructor; Lyle Slater, a millionaire’s son; and Bruce Engel, manager of the
valley’s lodge. Bruce was everything she could hope for, but he did not seem at
all interested in her. She had hoped, by moving to Crystalline Valley, to find
peace, but instead, all she found was more confusion.
Title: The Nurse with the Silver Skates
He is not credited, but this is very much in his style.
Inga Larsen, showing a newborn babe to its father, a baby she had helped to
deliver …
Inga Larsen, soaring through the air on ice skates amid the gasps of
thrilled spectators …
Which was she, student nurse or rink champion? And which was the right man for
her? Scott Marshall, ice-skating master, idol of her childhood, or Dr. Thor
Eriksen, whom she had secretly loved for three years? Inga Larsen just did not
know, and both men were not making it any easier for her to find out!
