pickI thoroughly enjoyed this first Cherry Ames book (my #bookspin for Feb). I don't think it's a coincidence that the doll Molly McIntire gets for Christmas in the, now out of print, "Molly's Surprise" has dark hair and rosy cheeks.
pickIt was fun to follow Cherry's story, how she made friends and found her place in the new environment.
This was super fun to read, so nostalgic.

Based on true events in the life of Julia Stimson. I enjoyed learning about this pioneering woman in the medical field. It was also interesting reading about the medical practices at the time.

I remember this #Lamp titled Scholastic book from the 1970s about Florence Nightingale. I think it was my sister‘s.
pickI liked this story about Cherry‘s time as a flight nurse in England. Maybe it was the British countryside but this book didn‘t feature the same derogatory language about Asian cultures. There‘s even a mention of African American troops and how they play the best swing music. My favorite detail is that preparations for evacuation flight nursing involves having hot coffee ready to drink! ☕️
so-soCherry is Chief Nurse of an evacuation hospital on an island in the South Pacific. These early novels actively implore girls to study nursing so they can join the war effort. Cherry and her troop of nurses get bombed and treat soldiers close to the combat zone. It‘s a reminder how fierce and tenuous the war was with Japan. Unforgivable: the derogatory language about Japan. I can‘t wait until Cherry has adventures in civilian nursing. 🌴
pickSorry for being MIA on Litsy. I‘ve been busy with work and reading. Cherry joins the army in book 3 of the series. She survives basic training and gets deployed to Central America. She blindly trusts the “miracles” of science and medicine which probably led to toxic chemicals being used to combat malaria. If only public health work were that simple…
