Mailbox Monday

 

This is a mailbox in Alaska.  I want it!

Another couple of books this past week, although they weren't in my mailbox.  My mailman knocks on the door these days and teases me about the books I get.

Critical Care by Theresa Brown (from ShelfAwareness).  At my job, people die, writes Theresa Brown, capturing both the burden and the singular importance of her profession. Critical Care chronicles Brown, a former English Professor at Tufts University, on her first year as an RN in medical oncology and the emotional ups and downs she encounters in caring for strangers. In contrast to other medical memoirs that highlight the work of doctors, this book focuses on the critical role played by nurses as health care providers.

Raven Stole the Moon by Garth Stein (from TerraCommunications).   Jenna Rosen abandons her comfortable Seattle life to revisit the remote Alaskan town where her young son, Bobby, disappeared two years before. Determined to uncover the mystery of his death, she hears whispers of Tlingit legends that tell of menacing forces--and discovers a frightening new possibility about Bobby's fate.
