Description
In this compendium of stories from the history of American Catholic healthcare, Suzy Farren has provided stunning evidence of the commitment of women religious to Jesus's mandate. In the accounts that follow, we discover the variety of ways in which healthcare has been provided: on the battlefield, through home visits, in hospices and rural clinics, as well as in hospitals both primitive and modern. Few of the nuns whose lives are presented here are "famous." Most lived and died obscurely, their names unknown even to most of those they served.
