Head Nurse — Ruth Dorset

Intrigue in surgery. Lena Mitchell's life changed when her younger sister Jan came to work for her at Middleboro General. Jan was blonde, lovely, vivacious -- but totally lacking the dedication she expected from her staff. When a patient of Jan's died, Lena could find reason to excuse her, for the responsibility may well have belonged to an older doctor, kept at the hospital by political pull. Lena had vowed to aid young Dr. Jim Porter in his efforts to save Middleboro from such corruption. To the last, she hoped for Jan's help. But Jan turned on her, and made a play for the man Lena loved!


SISTER WITH A MISSION…

It would have been hard to find two sisters as different as Lena and Jan Mitchell. Red-haired Lena, head nurse at Middleboro General, was unselfish, considerate, dedicated to her work. Blonde, greedy Jan was a nurse in name only, dedicated to herself. Yet it was Jan who attracted widowed Dr. Jim Porter, the young hospital chief…Jan who schemed to become the second Mrs. Porter. Could Lena stop her sister from ruining a wonderful man's life…without exposing the bitter secret of her own heart?
