Allen Long

Praying for Restraint

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Allen Long works as a CNA-certified nursing assistant at that supposed sanctuary of caring, an inner-city general hospital. What an unforgettable parade of bizarre, needy, abusive, menacing, endearing, and poignant humanity passes through its doors. And those are just the staff and administrators! Meanwhile, the patient population spans the affluent and sophisticated to the homeless, the mentally ill, addicts, gang members, and criminals in custody. Praying for Restraint takes the reader on a journey into the absurd and surreal that is ultimately uplifting and harrowing, both funny and heartbreaking. Long's struggle to survive a relentlessly toxic work environment with body, soul, and marriage intact is as gripping as the battle against childhood abuse in his previous memoir, Less than Human. Reviewers found that book "inspiring, honest, and beautifully written, engaging, and thought-provoking." Praying for Restraint earns that praise and more.

Autorenporträt

My name is Allen Long. I am an author from Arizona. I love to write books for kids that teach them about different disabilities or emotions that some kids have. I am not a professional writer, but I am a professional educator who works with children daily. When I am not working with children, I am usually out exploring the scenic Arizona desert with friends, or doing yard work around my beautiful property!
