Abstract
Taking Care, published by HarperCollins Publishers in 2023, is a rich and beautifully written story of nursing that moves beyond the narrow confines of professional nursing. This book is about the work that is nursing and the stories of inspiring nurse leaders and the challenges that they have and continue to overcome. The book is divided into ten chapters named in a way that is reminiscent of a nursing textbook - "Chapter 1: Origins," "Chapter 4: Community," "Chapter 7: Environment" and so on. The introduction is a powerful "chapter" in itself. It sets us up for a deeper understanding of the rest of the book. In this chapter, the author explains her own experiences with nurses. We learn of her harrowing experiences as the mother of a premature baby and as a caretaker for her parents.
