Cherry Ames is doing her best to keep with the clinic patients and be a comfort to them all, but the work is exhausting her! Being over-worked doesn't stop Cherry when a mysterious doctor comes to her claiming an emergency. Before long Cherry realizes that she has been kidnapped! The culprits need Cherry's help for a surgery and being a nurse Cherry can't refuse, and after Cherry does her duty the kidnappers decide that she can go free. Who will believe Cherry when she tells her wild tale? Even more important, how is she going to catch those bandits!
Personal Review
With women running for president it was difficult to read this book on occasion. I could enjoy the funny story and appreciate Cherry's dilemma but I had a difficult time over looking the disregard that some of the men showed to women in this novel. Reading books from a different time is something that we can't replace with just historical fiction, authors that lived during a specific time period write in an unbiased way; while current writers still have the way we think now to appeal to.
