'It must be stressed from the start that I was not a born nurse.

Perceptive, warm and very funny * Sunday Telegraph *
Funny and joyful * Nursing Times *
Highly amusing and entertaining * Derby Evening Telegraph *
Warm and funny.. with her dry humour, eye for life's quirkiness and her charming and self-deprecating manner, Evelyn might not have been a 'born nurse' but she was certainly a born writer. Don't miss her entertaining and often moving story * Lancashire Evening Post *
Brought up in Lincolnshire, Evelyn Prentis (real name Evelyn Taws) left home at eighteen to become a nurse. She later moved to London during the war, where she married and raised her family. Like so many other nurses, she went back to hospital and used any spare time she might have had bringing up her children and running her home. Born in 1915, she sadly died in 2001 at the age of eighty-five.
