District Nurse

By Audrie Manley-Tucker

Although she was understandably nervous, Julie Barden was also thrilled to be taking up her first job as district nurse in the small seaside town of Ambersea…

It was not so much the medical side of things as her patients’ personal problems that interested her so deeply – the old woman neglected by her daughter-in-law; a teenager struggling to keep the home going for her young brothers and sisters; an orphan child that nobody wanted: all square pegs that Julie was convinced she could help into square holes.

But her biggest problem was her relationship with the local doctor, David Pembury, who saw her only as an interfering ‘new broom’ sweeping far too clean. Each of them only wanted the best for their patients. Would they be able to agree about how to achieve it?

Audrie Manly-Tucker is the author of many romance novels.
