Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Hope and Destiny was referred to me by one of my parents in school-she is a mother of a student with sickle cell anemia. This book is user friendly, non intimidating and packied with important knowledge for me as a school nurse. It is a reasonable price. It is a book that you cannot sit down and read cover to cover in one sitting- there is just so much useful information. It is a reference book-I have highlighted passages and when my student comes down in crisis I feel that this book enable me to give him better care than I ever thought possible. A WONDERFUL PURCHASE.
