Samenvatting:

Written in 1857, this autobiography of Mary Seacole is a book you will not want to put it down. Mary's life had intention, bravery, and persistence. During the Crimean War Seacole offered to volunteer as a nurse to wounded soldiers, however she was met with racism and refusals. Unphased by the response, she went independently to the Crimea where she became not only a nurse, but a caregiver to wounded soldiers. Her journey is filled with sickness, and challenges along the way, all while running her own business, the "British Hotel."
