“An exhilarating read that takes you right to the front lines of the pandemic and the heroes risking and putting their own lives in harm’s way to save others! A story that will have you reaching out to the brave nurses and hospital workers and thanking them for what they do on a daily basis…Highly Recommended!” —Joe Dougherty, PhillyLabor.com

“…a gut punch — a raw, hard look at the day-to-day lives of healthcare workers who almost everyone expects to be super-heroic as a matter of course.” —Labor Press

“…a book written by a nurse in the center of the pandemic. Accompanied by beautiful drawings of hospital workers caring for patients…a narrative which helps us understand both COVID19 and the workers who faced it…[and] the deep solidarity health workers experience from each other.” —Marilyn Albert, Portside

“It is important for all of us to know about the truth of what COVID-19 has brought to healthcare facilities and the impact it has had on healthcare workers. It is important to know this as citizens, but also as members of the labor movement and the working class….A Pandemic Nurse’s Diary…is an essential tool in the struggle. …a very powerful read.” —APWU Union Mail

“…a vivid and powerful personal account of how Covid-19 has impacted her co-workers and patients and how the local, state, and national health care ‘system’ failed to provide the support and supplies they needed.” —Matt Witt, World Wide Work
