Sarah DiGregorio’s history of nursing sold to HarperCollins

Sarah DiGregorio, healthcare journalist and author of Early: An Intimate History of Premature Birth and What It Teaches Us About Being Human, has reached an agreement with HarperCollins to write Taking Care: An Essential History of the Nurse, a look at the ways nurses have impacted society and science, encompassing dynamics of gender, race, and class, as well as nurses’ insights on the interplay of health and community.

Early, in the meantime, has continued to earn accolades since its publication in January, receiving notices in USA Today, The Boston Globe, and Publishers Weekly, among others, while Sarah has made book appearances on television and radio.
