Despite their separation and the fact that they're both seeing other people, they still share the same interests: fighting for the little guy -- in this case, the beleaguered nurses at a small Catholic hospital that has just been taken over by an enormous health care conglomerate -- and fighting each other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile struggling with the strike and her growing feelings for the still exasperating, pigheaded Tony, Nicky also tries to cope with her nagging widowed mother, who desperately wants Nicky married; a slick boss who promises clients more than Nicky can possibly deliver; and an officious assistant who has read too many articles about cutthroat career women. But for Nicky, those troubles pale in comparison to dealing with a bumbling romance between two cousins from opposite sides of her family: Louise, a professional matchmaker with a chaotic love life, and Johnny, whose love for Louise hasn't stopped him from becoming engaged to another woman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCan Nicky help a group of hardworking nurses pull off an unlikely victory against a corporate giant? Can she force Johnny to see the error of his ways and declare his love for Louise? And can she ever make the right choice between her current beau and the guy who got away? Warmly amusing and sparkling with insight and keen wit, \u003ci\u003eThe Side of the Angels\u003c\/i\u003e is a refreshing, realistic look at the demands -- and rewards -- of career, commitment, Catholicism, and unforgettable love.","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127879713008,"sku":"9781439131640","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781439131640_p0.jpg?v=1763757410","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781439131640","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
