NEW YORK, March 6, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Leaving home to pursue a career can lead one into unchartered roads and experiences that try the human spirit akin to an emotional roller coaster. Author J'nette C. Bryant, in the release of her new book Casualties of Life, shares with readers the trials and tribulations she experienced on her way to becoming a nurse.
Inspired by the author's personal experiences, Casualties of Life tells the enduring story about a young girl and the life she lived in a small Caribbean community. The book covers the gamut of emotional experiences from birth to death. It encompasses her early life and follows her as she embarks on a nursing career where she encounters sickness and death, and the many facets of human relationships; of love and deception, betrayal and abandonment, rape and abortion, out-of-wedlock pregnancy and jilting; and finally rejection by family and exile from home. Through the protagonist's point of view, readers, especially women, will be able to relate with her trials and tribulations.
