DESCRIPTION:
This book is the second installment of The Tales Trilogy, the creative non-fiction account of a nurse behaviorist working in an academic cancer research institute. Her pager provides the literary device that moves her from one patient scenario to the next, encountering patients who are trying not merely to survive their illnesses, but to transcend them. These personal stories of healing are set against the backdrop of the unfolding events of 9/11.
"Another Day In the Life" according to Story Circle Book Reviews. "More Tales? Couldn't the world have fared just as well with only one volume? Perhaps the world could have, but all I know is that the stories just continue to flow and the need to give them voice is just as relentless," says Patrice Rancour in the Introduction to her second volume of Pager Chronicles.Giving voice to the stories of patients, families and caregivers is something Rancour knows a lot about.
