Book Overview
At twenty-three, high-spirited and courageous young Sue Barton goes to practice in the White Mountains - working with Dr. Bill Barry. Bill had proposed persistently and at last, gladly, Sue decides to marry him and help him with his country practice. But fate, in the form of personal tragedy, a typhoid epidemic, and the hostility of the town to Bill as a doctor, step in to complicate their lives. It is a wonder that a hurricane could lead not to further tragedy but to a potentially exciting future for Sue, Bill, and all of Springdale.

Every single one of these books written about Sue Barton were wonderful! It took my back to my childhood. I'd advise any mom to encourage their kids to read all of these wonderful books. They will definitely leave a lasting impression!
Sue's career as a country nurse
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
In this story following "Sue Barton, Visiting Nurse", Sue takes her visiting nurse career to New Hampshire, so she can work with her fiance, Bill Barry. The highlight of the book is when they track down a typhoid carrer in order to stop an epidemic. The town badly needs a hospital, though. Will the drastic circumstances of a hurricane open the people's eyes to this need?This was a good, solid story. I liked the late-in-life romance between Martha Edgett and Elias Todd. And Sue's new dachshund, Maxl, is adorable!
Second book in a series depicting life of young nurse
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I read this book as a child circa 1960. It so captured my imagination that today I work as a pediatric nurse in a 600 bed hospital. Fun reading for any young person but especially for those of us who still practice family reading.
