Rebel In White: A Memoir

With honesty, heart, and humor, Rebel in White tells the story of Bertha McComish and her career in nursing that spanned more than half a century. Born in 1927 in rural New Hampshire, Bertha grew up feisty and with a sense of purpose. She knew early on she wanted to be a nurse and took the lessons she learned growing up on her family’s farm on Craney Hill in Henniker, New Hampshire with her throughout her career. Receiving her training through the Cadet Nurse Corps during World War II, Bertha is part of America’s “Greatest Generation.” Rebel In White conveys a unique time and place in history—and chronicles the evolving and critical field of nursing through personal stories and reflections.
