Be careful what you wish for... Angelina already has a gift. She
can sometimes make herself invisible, or at least cause people not
to notice her. But the gillys, the semi-mythical little people who
befriend her, can do so much more. Angelina is certain she'll
attain true happiness if only her "fairy" friends will give her one
of their "magic stones." As in most fairy tales, the results are
not as expected, but one can't really blame the gillys. Adventure,
true love, a dastardly villain, broken hearts and a seed of hope
This is a "prequel" to the story of Teeka, Angelina's daughter, in
the Apprentice Healer series. The first chapter of To Heal a Broken
Planet is included. Publication of that novel, and its sequel, Into
the Unknown, is pending.
As changes in technology, policy and management put an increasing
emphasis on processes and procedures in nursing and health care,
how do we continue to make room for compassion, the ancient human
value that calls most nurses to the profession? In Spiritual Care
in Everyday Nursing Practice, Janice Clarke argues that it is
compassionate care of the whole person, body and soul, which is at
the heart of nursing practice that values the individual and
respects their dignity. Rather than seeing spiritual care as an
addition to what nurses already do, this new approach considers it
a natural part of compassionate care which doesn't present the
nurse with an extra ambiguous burden to deal with. Providing a
brief historical introduction to the concept of spirituality,
Clarke examines the ways in which our spiritual life - a source of
strength and meaning - can be influenced by factors such as age,
illness and suffering, and mental illness, as well as our religious
beliefs. Providing a practical guide to talking about and working
with spirituality, she explores how nurses might imbue all their
practice including the physical aspects of care - from use of touch
to helping patients to move, bathe and eat - with an attention to
spiritual needs. A timely, accessible and practical introduction to
a concept that is under-explored in contemporary nursing
literature, this book will be of great value to students and
professionals alike.
