Nurse Althea Anderson witnesses yet another premature baby die at Bellevue Hospital. When she reads an article detailing the amazing survival rates of babies treated in incubators in an exhibit at Luna Park, Coney Island, the doctors at Bellevue dismiss Althea and this unconventional medicine. Althea feels forced to make a choice between a baby's life and the doctors' wishes. Twenty-five years later, Stella Wright's mother has just passed, she quit a job she loves, and her marriage is struggling. Then she discovers a letter that brings into question everything she knew about her mother, and everything she knows about herself. -- adapted from back cover 650 0 $a Nurses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Premature infants $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Incubators (Pediatrics) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Luna Park (New York, N.Y.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 6 $a InfirmieÌres $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a PreÌmatureÌs $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Incubateurs (PeÌdiatrie) $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Secrets de famille $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a MeÌres et filles $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a FICTION / Historical / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Family Life / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Medical. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Family secrets. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01737651 650 7 $a Incubators (Pediatrics) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968835 650 7 $a Mothers and daughters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026997 650 7 $a Nurses. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01041618 650 7 $a Premature infants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01432223 651 7 $a New York (State) $z Luna Park. $z Luna Park. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01922097 650 7 $a Nurses $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Infants (Premature) $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Mother-daughter relationship $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Armstrong, Addison. $t Light of Luna Park $d New York : G.
