title: Nurses
author: Rose, Marcia
description: "A fast-paced, unabashedly soap-operatic tale of love and betrayal in a hectic Manhattan clinic."
  --Kirkus Reviews
  As director of New York's first and only nurse-run inner-city clinic, Marty Lamb wages the daily fight to keep the clinic running and makes the hard medical choices--about high-risk pregnancies, drug addicts with AIDS, premature babies--that come with serving a poor community.
  But Marty's problems are just beginning: Someone is tampering with patients' lab tests, her best nurse has developed an addiction to painkillers, and vicious poison-pen letters--from someone who seems to know everyone's deepest, darkest secrets--has the staff walking a razor's edge. . . .
  "NURSES may be fiction, but there is no truer story of urban American nursing."
  --Jane Carpineto, Author of RN
  "Funny, heartwarming--always entertaining--NURSES is an ode to unsung heroes as well as a great story."
  --Press (Middletown, CT)
