To Alice (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781578691821)

ALICE HAMMOND is a troubled soul. She dropped out of medical school when one of her professors made it too stressful for her to stay. Now she works as a home health and hospice aide in Providence, Vermont. She is a wonderful aide, the quality of her work is high, and her patients love her. But Alice tends to become too involved. The boundaries between providing compassionate care and getting too involved are already blurred when one of her patients dies and leaves her all his property and $125,000, while his brother, who had cared for him for nearly five years, receives nothing. Alice now has a chance at a new life but must first contend with her patient's furious brother, and heal her own wounds from her past trauma in medical school. Will she be able to move forward with this stroke of luck?
