Everybody Just Breathe: A Covid Nurse Memoir of Stamina and Swear Words

"Amanda Peterson is an ICU nurse, graduate student, and mother of two. She's also one of America's frontline workers in the fight against COVID-19. For nearly a year, Amanda worked in COVID ICU. Every patient every day was admitted with the same diagnosis. The beds filled up, but the mainstays of hospital life--frantic call lights, trays of half-eaten meals, and questions from worried families--disappeared as patient after patient began their own agonizing fight for breath. This startling debut reads like dispatches from the front. It is a testament to patients and a love letter of camaraderie to fellow COVID nurses. It is also an uproarious depiction of motherhood locked down. Amanda Peterson is a crucial new voice with a timely plea to a nation fatigued by pandemic: Everybody Just Breathe." -- from Amazon.com
