Here’s what real readers had to say after finishing this heartfelt healthcare memoir,
in their own words, no editing needed.
Karen Whitfield
Retired Registered Nurse
I read this in two sittings. Jan doesn’t dress anything up the boarding school years, the failed college attempt, the fear of losing that first NICU baby- it’s all right there. As a nurse, I felt seen. This isn’t a success story. It’s real, and that’s why it works.
Marcus Alden
Family Physician
What got me was the SOAP note comparison in chapter seven. I’ve felt that exact frustration with documentation eating into actual patient care. Jan says out loud what a lot of us in medicine think but rarely admit. Funny in places, heartbreaking in others. I’ve recommended it to three colleagues.
Dana Ferris
Elementary School Teacher
Not a healthcare person, and it didn’t matter at all. The chapters about her mother, her marriage falling apart, raising four kids while working weekend shifts, that’s just being human. I laughed at the fraternity house stories and cried at the part about her mom’s cancer. Give yourself an afternoon.
Priya Nathan
Hospice Social Worker
So many caregiving memoirs feel like a highlight reel. This one doesn’t. Jan writes about the patent that got stolen, the humiliation at her last hospital job, the years she hid her husband’s drinking, without asking for pity. Just honesty. That’s rare, and it’s what makes this book worth reading.
Robert Hensley
Retired Real Estate Broker
Bought this because my daughter is a nurse practitioner and I wanted to understand her world better. Ended up staying up past midnight finishing it. The invention story is worth the price of the book. Jan writes like she’s telling you the story over coffee, not performing for an audience.
