** Description en VO : Nurse of All Work - Jane Arbor **

After the death of her fiance, a racing driver, in an accident, Sue Nightingale found herself the target of hurtful criticism and gossip. It was whispered that, by jilting him and sending him brokenhearted to his death, Sue was responsible for the tragedy. But not even to justify herself in other people's eyes would Sue would reveal the truth-that Johnny had jilted her, for another woman. Shunned-or so she imagined-by her workmates at the factory where she was the industrial nurse, Sue found that her only friend was the new Welfare Officer, Glen Fraser. Her gratitude to him soon turned into love-but then she found there was an insuperable barrier between them.

Did love always bring only sorrow and pain? Out of loyalty to Johnny's memory, Sue couldn't explain the real circumstances surrounding his tragic death. As a result, she became ostracized by both her friends and fellow workers. Until Glenn Fraser, the new welfare officer, came to the plant where Sue was the senior industrial nurse. Sue almost forgot the misunderstanding when she fell deeply in love with Glenn. Then she learned she was once again one side of a love triangle.
