cherry ames
Delightful piece in Thursday's New York Times Style section about the Cherry Ames book series (Cherry Ames Student Nurse is the first). I was absolutely nuts about those books when I was a kid, couldn't read them fast enough. I wanted to BE Cherry Ames. When a guest asked me, one summer afternoon, what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said, "a nurse! like Cherry Ames". I couldn't wait to help people and feel useful in all corners of the world. How wonderful that some readers are rediscovering Cherry and her escapades. Maybe I'll read them again - I had no idea there were 27!
