Best Compilation of Nursing Stories Ever!
Nurses from many different specialties share their experiences through Echo Heron's impressive ability to portray emotion through words. I laughed, I cried, and I developed a sense of pride in being a nurse thanks to the stories of pure heroism in this book. I've read my copy to tatters, and I've bought many more copies for colleagues and new nurses I've mentored. You can't go wrong with this book.

A must read!!
Tending Lives is an outstanding read. It is an emotional roller coaster full of passion from nurses in different fields. I myself am pursuing a career in the health profession, and this book motivated me even more to pursue my goals. Heron¿s writing keeps the reader on their toes at every moment, and she tugs at the reader¿s heart strings. I would recommend this book to nurses and future nurses. However, I think the everyday reader would enjoy this book as well. As a reader, I could feel the passion that Heron felt while writing this book. Through her descriptive writing, it is easy to see that nursing is way more than just a profession ¿it is a calling¿.

Great read for present and future nurses
Love this book! I have bought many copies to give as gifts for graduating nurses and cant help but read it over and over again. The stories alternate between sad and hysterical- but they are all just great. Treat yourself, you wont be disappointed.

ECHO HERON WRITES A GREAT BOOK AGAIN
I bought this book because I have read many of her other books, that I also very much enjoyed. This book I loved so much! It is filled with so many emotional stories. I cried about 90% of the time. Being an EMT myself I could relate. It was wonderful and I highly suggest this book in the medical field, anyone wanting to be in the medical field, or anyone that just enjoys a great, heartfelt story or should I say stories. Read this book. You will not regret it.
