The Black Angels: The Untold Story of the Nurses Who Helped Cure Tuberculosis:
"I picked up The Black Angels as a proverbial middle finger to RFK Jr., and what I found instead was a deeply moving tribute to the women , the nurses of color, who were instrumental in the world’s fight against tuberculosis. I fell in love with their"

of
The Black Angels: The Untold Story of the Nurses Who Helped Cure Tuberculosis:
"Medical history meets social commentary in Jim Crow USA.

The Aviator and the Showman: Amelia Earhart, George Putnam, and the Marriage that Made an American Icon:
"Laurie Gwen Shapiro had me at the prologue.
Her newest book, the Aviator and the Showman, looks at the intertwined lives of Amelia Earhart and her (eventual) husband/handler/manipulator/bad cop/person everyone hates, George Putnam. What sold me in the" Read more of this review » |

of
The Black Angels: The Untold Story of the Nurses Who Helped Cure Tuberculosis:
"The joy of a book club is that you’re introduced to books which you probably wouldn’t ever find yourself, and Black Angels was exactly that. Sometimes a non-fiction book can be quite hard going especially if you know nothing about the topic, but this"

“Missouria took in Mr. Morris’s information and this system of demarcating lives. Maps and lines had defined her entire life. They were drawn throughout history, straightened, elongated, bent up and
down by people who met in town halls and state capitals and now in the federal government. She had spent too many years confined inside those lines, told where to go, when, and for how long. She had come here to change her life, to live as a professional, and to put down new roots.”

“Standing there, she gave a final glance at the instruments lying on the different trays: scissors, trocars, and elevators, used for scraping and dissecting bones; retractors, heavy L-shaped instruments for holding back organs and tissues; rongeurs, for gnawing holes in bones; mouth gags and bone cutters and rib cutters, whose tips were molded into shapes that resembled steel beaks.”

“Edna never took decisions lightly. She was a woman of few words, a listener, a reader of silences, of the pauses that came between thoughts and ideas. Living in the South, she had learned to decipher absence, fill in the gaps, read smiles and smirks and hand gestures, and then wait for clarity. She would do that now. Take her time, weigh the pros and cons of staying in Savannah and enduring its codes or following the thousands of other migrants and becoming a nurse in a TB hospital. (pg. 26)”
