This is such an important story to tell, but my low rating comes from the poor quality of writing. The author regularly went on long tangents about topics that weren’t related, like Jackie Robinson, boxing, POWs, the rumpus room of the apartment complex where the nurses lived, etc. So much of the story needs to be preserved in writing, like the exclusion of black nurses from the ANA, the work of the NACGN, and the work the Black Angels did. But their work with the actual TB cure is relegated to the last 90 minutes of the audiobook. This is a very rambling account of a narrative that deserves better. Additionally, the audiobook narrator pronounces many medical terms wrong. 

This book was amazing. The work these nurses did should never be forgotten, and I’m so happy I got to learn about them. This is one of those books where the story is inspiring, but will also leave you thinking well after that final page. 

I liked this book, but it wasn't quite what I expected (I won't go into detail so no spoilers). It was an interesting historical account nonetheless and these women left legacies they should be very proud of.
