COULD IT HAPPEN AGAIN?
Lovely, tawny-haired nurse Kay Crosby came to Amory General Hospital for one reason only -- to forget handsome Doctor Lanny Kirkman. She threw herself into her work desperately, knowing that was the only way to assuage the pain of her broken heart.
But when Kay was assigned the job of training Candystripers, young volunteer nurse's aides, she was assailed with new doubts.
Lanny had jilted her for a Candystriper -- the memory of it was still vivid in her mind. Could she overcome her bitterness toward them? Could she do the job that was expected of her -- especially when her new love, Doctor Mike Ralston, met Beth, the prettiest and most alluring of the Candystripers?
*********************************************
Avalon edition:
Nurse Kay Crosby did not welcome the idea of training a group of high school girls as Candy-Strippers, but Mrs. Xavier, the head nurse at Amory General, had so decreed, and standing solidly behind Mrs. Xavier was Mrs. Zane, in charge of volunteers and aptly described as a “tornado of energy.”
When Kay met the prospective Candy-Strippers, her spirits did not lift at all. There were five of them:
Beth Lincoln -- tall and plain.
Sharon Davis -- the earnest type, but also the officious type, a meddler.
Jull Fallon -- a cutie, with soft brown hair that swung in soft waves to her shoulders (wearing a net over it was not to Jill's liking).
Nora Malloy -- a red-head, the cheerleader type.
Gretchen Heldon -- a tall, willowy blonde with gray eyes.
Of the five, Kay saw possibilities only in Beth and Gretchen. The other three, she was sure, had signed up as a lark. And Kay had no intention of soft-soaping Ed Ralston, their high school counselor, as to what she thought of the idea. It didn't matter that Ed's brother, Mike Ralston, was the new resident in surgery who was showing more than a passing interest in tawny-haired Kay.
But the worst was yet to come -- in the shape of pretty Angie Peterson, who was proving to be a problem both at home and in the school, and who was now to become Kay's problem.
When a bevy of high school girls descends on a hospital, you may expect action -- and there is action aplenty in Miss Cosgrove's story of a large hospital that inaugurates a program for Candy-Strippers.
Hero: Dr./Doctor Mike Ralston
Heroine: Nurse Kay Crosby
