On the Receiving End: A Memoir of a Nurse Who Met, Tackled, and Overcame Insurmountable Obstacles by Shelia J. Brooks is a book that came to me at just the right time. I unexpectedly had to say goodbye to my beloved senior dog and was looking for something that could distract my brain. I found that distraction and more within the pages of this thoughtfully written book. This story is one of strength and how we as humans can look at all the obstacles before us and decide when it would be easier to give up or choose to keep on going.
On the Receiving End by Shelia J. Brooks is written with a skilled hand and a deft turn of phrase that proves the author is not only strong, resilient, and a nurse, but an evocative storyteller. There is some medical jargon, but it is explained well so that even someone with no medical experience at all, like myself, can understand it. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know about the strength of the human spirit. You can find it in every word and on every page of this book. It weaves professional and personal details together in such a perfect way you would swear they were stitched together by a seamstress. If you truly want to find yourself unable to put a book down, this is one for you. I don’t say that lightly as I usually prefer fiction when I want to escape. This book is better than fiction and was just the right one to help me as I processed my loss.
