Redheaded Sue Barton left her position as Superintendent of Nurses at the Springdale, New Hampshire, Hospital, in order to raise a family. Now she and Dr. Bill have three children: six-year-old Tabitha and the four-year-old twins, Johnny and Jerry. Sue is happy in her job as wife and mother until she goes to a reunion of her class in nursing school, where the accomplishments of others make her feel as if she is “stagnating.”

This Sue Barton story tells how Sue discovered the importance of her own job. She nurses the neighborhood; she finds work for a crippled farmer; she pinch-hits for the visiting nurse; she helps bring the artist Mona Stuart and her teen-age daughter Cal together. And always something is happening at home for Sue and Bill and their faithful Veazie Ann to cope with — Jerry’s strange tantrums, Johnny’s disappearance in the woods with his little friend Anne, Tabitha’s attempt to run away. Are Sue’s training and abilities wasted on all these daily and personal small problems? Her customary humor and warm good sense help her decide.

Jennifer Hanover thought she was the luckiest nurse at General Hospital, for she had won the heart of attractive, dedicated Dr. Larry Johnson. But then her scheming twin sister, Kristi, ruined Jen’s vacation and turned her life inside out — all with one urgent phone call. Overnight Jen was forced to masquerade as Kristi, a nurse at a trailer-park clinic.

Jen lived in her sister’s home, treated her sister’s patients, and fell under the spell of her sister’s ruggedly handsome boss, Ash Hunter. And to top it off, she found herself mothering a slew of trailer park waifs.

Living a double life was difficult enough for Jen. Even more difficult was choosing the one right man to share her life with forever.

Lori had two worries. Handsome Mace Hunter, test pilot for Pacific Aircraft, who persisted in risking his life daily for the sheer adventure of it…and naval lieutenant Dirk Patou. The future that Dirk offered Lori was both stable and secure, and in his white uniform Dirk was every bit as handsome as the test pilot who simply would not listen to reason…
