To be a good nurse takes dedication, perseverance and patience. We are there to take care of the sick and nurture them back to good health. So what would you say to a little old man who asks you to squeeze his banana? Would you take him up on his offer? I would say, Let me have it. By the way, he only wants it peeled! It is questions like that, that are not that unusual coming from the patients that I care for everyday and some questions get much more creative, if you know what I mean? It is also questions like that, which make me chuckle, and it is a small reminder of why I go to work each day. Contemplating my days, I found myself involved in some of the most outrageous situations, so Ive decided to welcome all of you into my world just so you can see for yourself what nursing is all about. I am not just telling a single story but rather depicting humorous detailed encounters of actual events that leave you astonished. Remember, there is humor to be found in just about everything!

Everyone calls me Pumpkin. Firstly, because I was a fat, chubby-cheeked baby. And, secondly, because when Ma was pregnant with me, no matter how much pumpkin she ate, she just couldn't get enough ...'. Lusaka. 1978. Pumpkin is nine years old. Her fashionable mother is the queen of Tudu Court, but underneath the veneer of respectability that her father's money provides lies a secret that threatens their whole world - the tall, elegant Totela Ponga is a drunk. And when Pumpkin's father - the wealthy businessman JS - discovers her mother's alcoholism it sets in motion a chain of events that come to define the rest of her life. Weaving together the stories of three generations of women, this novel is a patchwork of love, jealousy and human frailty set against a backdrop of war and political ambition. It is a remarkable journey that takes us deep into the heart of a family both fractured and bound together by their love for one man.
