"In her elegant, sophisticated prose, Dillard tells a tale of intimacy, loss and extraordinary friendship and maturity against a background of nature in its glorious color and caprice. The Maytrees is an intelligent, exquisite novel." -- The Washington Times

Toby Maytree first sees Lou Bigelow on her bicycle in postwar Provincetown, Massachusetts. Her laughter and loveliness catch his breath. Maytree is a Provincetown native, an educated poet of thirty. As he courts Lou, just out of college, her stillness draws him. Hands-off, he hides his serious wooing, and idly shows her his poems.

In spare, elegant prose, Dillard traces the Maytrees' decades of loving and longing. They live cheaply among the nonconformist artists and writers that the bare tip of Cape Cod attracts. When their son Petie appears, their innocent Bohemian friend Deary helps care for him. But years later it is Deary who causes the town to talk.

In this moving novel, Dillard intimately depicts willed bonds of loyalty, friendship, and abiding love. She presents nature's vastness and nearness. Warm and hopeful, The Maytrees is the surprising capstone of Dillard's original body of work.

A Classic
Format: Paperback
This is my favorite book by Dr. Watson. I have read it many times and continue to learn and deepen my own nursing practice. I highly recommend this book over all others. Whether you've been a nurse for 4 years or 40 years, you'll be surprised at what you'll learn.

Caring- updated.
Format: Paperback
It is refreshing to read The Philosophy and Science of Caring. Caring is central to nursing and frequently in the nursing literature. Watson has revised and expanded her Caring Science and Philosophy, offering new insights,science and exemplars. This book is useful for all nurses,scholars, practitioners and educators. It should be required reading for nursing regardless of practice venue. Bravo, Jean!

Good for research
Format: Paperback
Nursing research is not the place for me but it’s good to know this stuff before you become a nurse. I did use this for many assignments.
