"Amnesia cases can be surprisingly difficult,"
Dr. Hope told Cherry
One of the strangest cases of Cherry Ames' absorbing career comes her way while working
as a staff nurse at Hilton Hospital in her home town. A young man, victim of a highway accident, is brought to Emergency with a
broken leg. Shortly after he is admitted to the hospital, the doctors discover that "Bob Smith" has been suffering from amnesia for
several months.
Who is he? Where is his home? What tragic happening caused such distress that his
memory is a blank? Answers to these and numerous other challenging questions must be found if "Bob Smith" is to be cured.
Working under the direction of the medical and psychiatric doctors, Cherry plays a crucial
role in helping the patient to get well and to find a solution to the dilemma that caused his "flight from memory." Clues develop as the
psychiatrist uses various techniques to help the patient recapture his lost memory. "Bob Smith" insists that he is guilty––but of what
he cannot recall. During her free time, while following up the obscure clues, Cherry encounters suspiciously difficult people and an
alarmingly tangled situation.
Here is a fascinating story that will be long remembered by the lovable nurse heroine's
thousands and thousands of admirers.
