Sinópse

“Acessible, inspiring, and packed with unusual facts, this book will find its way into the heart and soul of many readers, both young and old.”
- Quill & Quire

“Gorrell succeeds in separating myth from reality, smoothly crafting a picture of a gifted individual who was also wholly human.”
- School Library Journal

“Lively and highly readable.”
- Booklist

Florence Nightingale is often thought of as a saintly, patient angel of mercy. The real Florence was a much more difficult, demanding person. Born to a life of privilege, she was supposed to be satisfied with the pastimes and pleasures of society life. Instead, she saw that other suffered hardship and injustice, and she was outraged by their misery.

Florence Nightingale’s story is a thrilling reminder of how one person who tries hard enough, one person who refuses to accept defeat, can change the world.
