An immigrant who, with her mother, escaped vicious anti-Semitism in Poland, she spends her shifts transporting patients, observing the doctors and residents ... and quietly nurturing her aspirations to become a doctor herself by going to night school. Now just one credit short of graduating, she finds herself faltering in the face of pressure from her mother not to overreach, and to settle for the life she has now. Everything changes when Sima encounters Mindy Kahn, an intern doctor struggling through her residency. Sensing a fellow outsider in need of support, Sima bonds with Mindy over their patients, and learns the power of truly letting yourself care for another person, helping to give her the courage to face her past, and take control of her future. A moving story about vulnerability and friendship, From the Love of Strangers is the story of one woman's discovery that sometimes intractions with strangers are the best way to find yourself."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women immigrants $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Jews, Polish $z New York $z New York $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Hospitals $x Fiction. $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Women medical students $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Women physicians $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Female friendship $x Fiction. 651 0 $a Brooklyn (New York, N.Y.) $x Fiction. 941 $a 3 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210619010013.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20210504015343.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20201126010152.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0950D9E62FB511EBB4E6015058ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
