She turned to a brilliant young doctor for help and found true love as well.
HELP YOURSELF TO HEARTACHE…
Psychiatric nurse Kathryn Kilburn could read most people like a book. An emotional problem in someone else was something she could heal.
But when her fiancé constantly avoided marriage, she had to face the hidden truth about herself. And brilliant Dr. Lamont reached out to help her…
This one’s for you, Kate…
The Problem Was Romantic
She thought she knew her own mind. Three years’ training at Updale had taught her more than to sign her name “Carolyn Cutler, R.N.” But now she was a successful nurse on private duty–and her problems were far from medical. They were:
Dr. Livingston: Carolyn had idealized him while she was in training. In fact they had considered themselves engaged. Now she wasn’t sure whether she loved him as a man or as a surgeon.
Derek Williams: Carolyn’s employer–a young widower. Her love for him contained a strong mixture of pity.
Bill Hamilton: Impetuous, red-headed playboy. His only claim to fame was a long series of breach-of-promise suits. To Carolyn his actions were dubious, his charm devilish.
The three men were quite a problem. They all wanted to marry Carolyn.
Emma has been growing her hair out for over a year for the sole purpose of donating it to Locks of Love, a non-profit charity that provides hairpieces to kids suffering from long-term medical hair loss. Last night we had Heidi, the überstylist, lop off 10 inches for Locks of Love and style what was left.
Here are some photos of the big occasion:
On a completely unrelated note, Beryl Markham’s West With The Night is one of my favorite books and would make a wonderful gift for any discerning bibliophile on your Christmas list.
“…she has written so well, and marvellously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer…she can write rings around all of us…I wish you would get it and read it because it is really a bloody wonderful book.”
— Ernest Hemingway
P.S. Oh, come on! I couldn’t pass up the oronym, and what other options did I have?
Locks Talk and Bear Ill? (Nah.)
Locks Tock and Bare Elle? (Macpherson, of course.)
Locks Dock in Barrow? (Nope.)
Locks Dog in Peril? (That’s really pushing it.)
I thought my choice, incorporating both the follicular announcement and my favorite little-known African aviatrix, was brilliant.
She never dreamed that a London holiday would change her entire life.
The huge jet liner was London bound.
And Elaine Gibbs had left thoughts of hospital routine far behind.
But when the stewardess asked her to assist a sick passenger, she couldn’t refuse. Then, she discovered that her patient was none other than Tommy Taylor, the rock-and-roll idol.
At the airport, Elaine helped Tommy avoid reporters–including the handsome young journalist who was her seatmate. And so, unwittingly, she embarked on a wild adventure that changed her entire life.
Cara’s secret identity involves her in a tangle of mystery, jealousy and romance.
Never in her nursing career had lovely Cara Merrill received so strange a request. But Brent Butler was so persuasive that she reluctantly agreed to accompany him to the fabulous Butler estate to be his debutante fiancée.
Cara’s real purpose, Brent told her, was to watch over his elderly uncle whose health had been mysteriously failing. Brent was suspicious of his handsome cousin Paul–and when both men declared their love for her, Cara had to make the most important decision of her life!
