In the Midst of Life by Jennifer Worth is my favourite book because the author uses her tremendous observation and writing skills to produce a book which has a real motto and purpose to it.

There are absolutely amazing incidents that are autobiographical which tell of the author's brush with life-and-death situations and what she, as a nurse, learns and gleans from them.

It is a brave book, which tells one to value one's life and make the most of it.

You too can participate and send us your responses.
