Book Description
In 1905, in Washington, D.C., a young newly-trained nurse is called to the White House for special duty. With the money earned on that venture, she sets out on a cross-country trip by train for California. Along the way, the young woman encounters events and people whose stories enthrall and excite. These anecdotes are recorded over the years, 1905 and 1908 in the young womans diary. Upon her death in 1946, the diary disappears. The missing diary is discovered by a boy who, for some mysterious reason, cannot forget what he has read and is reluctant to allow the book out of his sight. The boy, now a man, breathes life into the former nurse who, seemingly from her grave, recounts her early years and allows us a look into a fascinating portal of time.

Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
The COVID-19 virus, more serious than the Spanish flu of 1917, will perhaps be remembered by Americans along with Pearl Harbor and 9/11. In the early months of the outbreak of the disease, the author, an observer of the confusion reigning on all continents about the nature of the beast, began to document its daily progress. Also recorded were the efforts made by elected officials, health-care providers, scientists and economists to thwart the death march of the contagion throughout the United States. Along the way, another ugliness, racism, had to be addressed. A virtual war against these stealth-like adversaries is presented in chronicle form in what Allen R. Remaley entitles, “19”. Sidebars caused by the stress of the pandemic are exposed. Insights, personal thoughts and daily updates, sometimes poignant, sometimes humorous, give us a record of this harbinger of death and hope.
