Single Hearted

Plot

Do not miss Mary Lou Brownell s new book! Singlehearted portrays the passions of a new nation emerging from a bruising war and the compassion of a dedicated nurse who cared for the people in many beautiful ways. You will marvel at the sweeping breadth of her efforts: She nursed in jungle clinics and later became the Director of Nursing at our hospital as well as the hospital dentist. She also established Heart House, a center of loving care and training for destitute, war-damaged women. She was a teacher, too, who taught Bangladeshi, American, and Canadian children and later became the principal of the national high school. And all that is only the beginning of the many tasks she undertook. Mary Lou relates many events and adventures in connection with each of her several careers. And she tells these accounts with grace and verve and good humor. I believe you will agree that Mary Lou Brownell truly served God and man in the People s Republic of Bangladesh and that she did so with distinction. -- Viggo B.
