Ambulance Girl

Jane Stern, who with her husband Michael has produced numerous books about American food, writes about her longtime struggle with depression, and the way her work as a volunteer emergency medical technician brought her out of it. Candidly detailing her experiences with the desperately ill (and sometimes with corpses) and with the pressures of the job--and with her own ups and downs--she ends with the events with 9/11 and the role of emergency workers in the crisis.
