Through a series of events taken from her own life, Bailey here demonstrates that the power of God is still alive and well, and that miracles are not confined to the Old Testament. Through her belief in God, she has been chosen to witness certain visions and signs of His love in order to provide comfort and guidance to herself and her loved ones. At the same time she has produced an appealing portrait of life as a nurse in England during and after the Second World War. C M Bailey trained for two years in orthopaedics and four years in general nursing to gain her Hospital and State Certificates. She believes that good nursing practice cannot be learned in a lecture room or from text books - it is an innate gift, and that those privileged to be nurses follow a noble tradition and should remember that an ill person deserves, and should receive, unstinting care.
