District Nurse — Lucy Agnes Hancock

Ellen Adams, engrossed with her sick mother and her job as district nurse, aiding the sick and poverty stricken, spent little time wondering about love. Jim had adored her since they were children -- but she was quite sure she didn't want him. She saw so much of the pity and terror of humanity that she had begun to doubt that such a thing as romantic love existed. But how Ellen Adams finally found it -- and found it could be part of reality.
