Drawing on ethnographic research conducted by an American nurse, Caring in Context is an exploration of how most of the world experiences cancer, and how nurses bear witness and respond to the suffering of others when they have little means to help—or for complex reasons, choose not to. This compelling book centers on nurses in a government cancer hospital in South India and examines key contexts that influence nursing practice and the delivery of healthcare, including hierarchical legacies of colonialism and the caste system, resource scarcity, power and perceived powerlessness, and gender inequities. These themes are illustrated through intersecting narratives, such as the story of Hameeda, an orphaned teenager with sarcoma who lives at the hospital until she becomes paralyzed, and Sister Meena, a nurse who strives to provide better care but encounters overwhelming structural obstacles and is chastised by her superiors for doing too much. Offering a critical re-examination of the realities faced by clinicians, patients, and family members who struggle to deliver and receive cancer care, Caring in Context’s unique perspective and accessible style will appeal to a wide and interdisciplinary audience, from practitioners, academics, and advocates to anyone interested in the complex context of the human experience.

This is an epic journey about the lives of two school friends, Dorothy Cunningham and Wilma Portland. Dorothy and Wilma are business partners, managing a wedding and catering business. The two ladies remain friends after they marry their husbands, Malcolm Melrose and Joshua LeBoun who work together as police officers. Time passes, and two decades later, the long friendship between both families is strengthened after Annette Melrose marries Gideon LeBoun, they are united as one big happy family. The novel is set on the island of St Vincent and it accurately reflects Caribbean culture. St Vincent is one of the Windward Islands; it lies between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The island’s north-easterly coastline is surrounded by the rough and rugged Atlantic Ocean, and the Caribbean Sea is on its north-westerly coastline with stunning beaches. St Vincent is a volcanic island and the shores are covered with black sands, and the remains of many large rocks along rivers and streams are evidence of previous volcanic eruptions. This mountainous island is truly a tropical paradise. This book captures a range of emotions from happy, comical, entertaining, and yet it is true to life with a tinge of sadness.
