Family Planning

Touching, feel good book from a nurse s perspective.

A nurse practitioner discovers a dead baby in a dumpster and finds herself and her women s health clinic in the center of a scandal Great story that runs a bit slow in places.

Another book that my step mom lent me This was one she though was ok, but not amazing and I agree with that assessment The story is about the women of El Centro and the challenges they face over a few months There is Charlotte who is the nurse practitioner at the clinic, who s past is coming back to haunt her There is her staff, most of whom are dealing with personal crisis and self discovery in their own life While there clinic is going through it s own growing dying pains as decisions are made [...]

Elizabeth Letts is a remarkable author Her first novel Quality of Care established her as a powerful new voice in fiction This second novel is a compelling page turner.From back cover The nurse practitioner at El Centro, a not for profit women s health center in rural Pennsylvania, Charlotte Hopper is responsible for the well being of her patients, as well as her dedicated staff Especially since the clinic s doctor is usually absent and drunk.But soon Charlotte s carefully constructed life begin [...]

A nurse practitioner at El Centro, a not for profit women s health center in rural Pennsylvania, Charlotte Hopper has found peace in her carefully constructed life until her old college friend moves next door, resurrecting a secret so devastating that Charlotte s husband leaves rather than face the past And after a heartbreaking discovery is made on the grounds behind the clinic, the women of El Centro must contend with being in the media spotlight and being suspected of a terrible crime.

Didn t really like this one I kept thinking it would get better didn t I thought maybe something unexpected would happen didn t I hate to say it but I wish I hadn t wasted the time reading it.

Elizabeth s second book, which she considers better than the first I have to admit I didn t like it as much as the first This is a character examination sort of book, but I felt that getting to know so many characters so intimately interfered with the plot and I found it distracting.

Excellent novel about the women and visiting a nonprofit women s clinic serving a predominantly Hispanic, immigrant clientele The author is a nurse midwife and the mother of four children How she finds time to write simply baffles me

By same author as Quality of Care Storyline not nearly as intriguing Focus is on FNP working at women s clinic in PA

Not bad

Decent story line but poorly written Somewhat predictable.

This book will not get the credit it deserves because it is difficult to find It is a fine read.

A little too heavy on feelings and a predictable ending, butsome of the sore points are altogether too true.

Really liked the characters The story was good but somewhat predictable at times Some of it tied up a little too neatly for my taste, but a good read.

I really enjoyed this book realistic and true to life characters, and very well written
