description: This book is based upon some of my experiences in a children's hospital between 1959 and 1973. Names have been changed to grant privacy, nevertheless, the characters are real, not fictionalized. These fellow patients and staff members helped shape me into the person I am today, in some of the most profound ways possible.  Author_Bio: Gini Patrick presents for your reading pleasure her very first book. When she isn't writing she is often found reading, playing music, or making artwork of some kind. Gini resides in a bustling college town in Southern Indiana with her partner John and her feline friend Emily.
