Abstract to the book 'Hold my hand' Perkins-Valdez D.:Inspired by real events, an emotional and deeply touching novel about a black nurse who is trying to achieve justice for her patients in the American South. 1973, Alabama. Sybil Townsend, who has just graduated from nursing school, has big plans, she dreams of changing the world for the better. At the birth control clinic, she intends to help women manage their own bodies and their lives. Sybil goes to visit her first patients, and a dusty country road leads her to a shabby hut where Erica and India live. And Sybil is horrified to discover that her patients are children, the girls are only eleven and thirteen years old. They haven't even kissed boys yet, but they are black and poor, which means, from the point of view of white officials from the social service, they are already ready to breed, and therefore need preventive measures. Sybil decides that she will fight such an injustice, and she seems to succeed. It radically changes the lives of girls, their father and grandmother, but... But tragedy still overtakes them. Decades later, the well-respected Dr. Civil Townsend is ready to retire, find peace and leave the past in the past. But there are people and stories that refuse to be forgotten. Which should not be forgotten. Read more…
