{"product_id":"9781491702765","title":"Among Hibiscus and Roses: A Retired Nurse's Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eA few years ago, Sun-Hae Kim met a female student at a British museum who was studying medieval women’s social activities. She was unable to find information from women at that time because they didn’t leave much in written form. She then looked around for some nurses’ autobiographies and again found very little information available, even by Florence Nightingale. In response to this lack of personal writing from nurses, she presents \u003ci\u003eAmong Hibiscus and Roses\u003c\/i\u003e, an account of her years as a nurse.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShe tells of the challenges of being an army nurse and of the fun times with her fellow nurses. She approached each new challenge with expectation and the hope that she would be helping more people. When she immigrated to the United States, she faced new cultures, languages, and social life; she met many new and interesting people. Throughout her transition, she was filled with wonder and excitement for her new life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost importantly, she recounts the challenges and rewards of being a nurse for over thirty-seven years, in both South Korea and the United States. She lived proudly a life that was not old fashioned and yet still proved she could be happy and healthy without indulging in drugs, alcohol, sex, and gambling. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSharing the too-often-unheard story of a nurse, \u003ci\u003eAmong Hibiscus and Roses\u003c\/i\u003e describes a unique and out-of-the-ordinary life journey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144943354096,"sku":"9781491702765","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781491702765_p0.jpg?v=1763658909","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781491702765","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
