He’s thrilled readers with fictional tales of murder and mayhem, but James Patterson says he hopes his latest book helps “wake people up” by telling the gripping stories of real-life emergency room nurses.
“It’s such a powerful book,” the prolific author says of E.R. Nurses: True Stories from America’s Greatest Unsung Heroes. The nonfiction tome with Matt Eversmann, poised to be released Oct. 11, features a compilation of interviews with hospital workers from across the country — everywhere from Wisconsin to Hawaii — telling their experiences in their own words.
“If you read this book, you will understand nurses and hospitals in a way you didn’t before,” Patterson said.
