Angels in Brooklyn Carole Lee Limata

Nativity Settlement House and Health Clinic has opened once again to assist newly-arrived immigrants in 1926. Nurse Angie and Doctor Abe Goodwin, along with Nurse Adeline, continue their efforts to help immigrant families adapt to their new life in Brooklyn, New York. Many come through the clinic's open doors: a single mother juggling two jobs to support her family, a young woman rushing to the clinic to save her infant and a widow struggling to care for her elderly mother and her young sons. When a toddler is kidnapped in the neighborhood, the nurses band together and creatively unite to search for the child. The immigrants are not the only ones facing daunting challenges. Nurse Adeline is confronted with a number of her own. She is forced to face her past when her dreams trigger long-forgotten memories of her military service, nursing wounded soldiers during World War One.
