The Nurses Secret by Amanda Skenandore
A richly-detailed and compelling historical saga for fans of Dilly Court, Sheila Newberry and Rosie Goodwin!Praise for The Second Life of Mirielle West
"Scrupulous in her research and practically clairvoyant in her choice of urgent subjects – from the Indigenous boarding schools of her first novel to the disease and quarantine of The Second Life of Mirielle West – historical novelist Amanda Skenandore has quietly become one of the valley's finest authors"
–The Las Vegas Review Journal
"Despite being a fictional work, in her book The Second Life of Mirielle West Amanda Skenandore has used her medical background as a registered nurse–and her storytelling skills as a writer–to describe the sorrows experienced by patients with leprosy who were quarantined at the Carville Leper Home, a hospital in Louisiana that used to provide quarantine and treatment services for leprosy in the USA throughout the 20th century."
–The Lancet
