Göra gott : En sjuksköterskas berättelse
av Christie Watson
"Göra gott" är en kärleksfull inifrånskildring av ett livsviktigt yrke. Christie Watson berättar personligt och medkännande om de erfarenheter hon samlat under sina tjugo år som sjuksköterska - från födsel till död, från akuten till långvården.

Vi får följa med när en orolig mamma för första gången vågar hålla sin för tidigt födda son i famnen. När akutlarmet går. Under plågsamt långa och komplicerade hjärtoperationer. Och vid det svåraste av allt, när ett barn har dött och den sörjande familjen ska ta farväl.

Christie Watsons hyllade berättelse inger hopp och lyfter fram betydelsen av omtanke, omsorg och vänlighet - även utanför sjukhusets väggar.

Älskade Elijah
av Christie Watson
När Elijah är nyfödd dör hans pappa i en bilolycka. Hans mamma mår efter tragedin så dåligt att hon faller offer för en präst som övertygar henne om att en elak "¿trollkarl"¿ har intagit Elijahs kropp -- och att pojken därför är roten till allt ont som händer, däribland pappans död. Elijahs mamma blir till slut tvångsintagen på sinnessjukhus och Elijah omhändertas av myndigheterna. Efter att ha bott hos flera dysfunktionella fosterfamiljer hamnar han hos Nikki och Obi, ett barnlöst par som genomlidit flera missfall. De tar emot Elijah med öppna armar och deras kärlek ger honom äntligen viss sinnesro. Men Nikki och Obi anar oråd när Elijah börjar skylla på den elaka trollkarlen varje gång han gör något olämpligt. När Nikki mot alla odds blir gravid och ska föda ett litet syskon till Elijah hotar trollkarlen att ta över helt.

Acolo unde femeile sunt regi
av Christie Watson
Autoare laureata a Premiului Costa pentru roman de debutCartea lui Christie Watson vorbeste despre iubirea materna in cele mai felurite reprezentari ale sale, dar prezinta si lumea exotica a Nigeriei, cu senzatiile, culorile si mirosurile care o definesc. Elijah, un baietel nigerian de sapte ani, nascut in Anglia, se lupta cu propriul comportament deviant, pe care il considera provocat de un vrajitor dinauntrul sau. Aflat in plin proces de adoptie, Elijah este impartit intre iubirea pentru mama biologica, Deborah, si cea adoptiva, Nikki. La un moment dat, asistentii sociali descopera ca Elijah a fost abuzat si traumatizat fizic si psihic. In lupta lui de a se accepta si de a-si gasi linistea alaturi de noua sa familie, Elijah vrea sa se convinga, totusi, de dragostea lui Deborah, iar pretul pe care il plateste este devastator."Watson zugraveste portretul unei lumi sfasiate de conflicte legate de credinta, rasa sau apartenenta la o categorie sociala. Cartea devine tot mai convingatoare si adesea, in mod neasteptat, capata accente comice pe masura ce personajele pline de viata insufla umor si autenticitate unei povesti pe alocuri teribil de dureroase." - New York Times Book Review"Watson creeaza o suita de personaje extraordinare si construieste o poveste remarcabila despre dragostea familiala pe fundalul tensiunilor sociale." - Booklist"O carte sofisticata, scrisa pe mai multe planuri, care vorbeste despre ce inseamna cu adevarat o familie si despre ceea ce trebuie sa facem pentru cei pe care ii iubim." - Kirkus Reviews"Christie WatsondovedeAYte o profundA nA elegere a experienA elor prin care poate trece un copil ca Elijah AYi AYi trateazA personajele cu multA empatie. Indiscutabil, Acolo unde femeile sunt regi are o forA A uriaAYA ." - Publishers Weekly

Curajul sa-ti pese
av Christie Watson
Christie Watson a lucrat ca asistent? medical? de pediatrie timp de mul?i ani. Apoi a descoperit pasiunea scrisului ?i a Ã¿ncercat s? Ã¿mbine cele dou? profesii. Dar COVID-19 ne-a r?sturnat lumea cu susul Ã¿n jos. Iar Christie Watson n-a ezitat s? se Ã¿ntoarc? Ã¿n spital, la vechea sa meserie, ?i s? se al?ture celor care au luptat Ã¿n linia Ã¿ntÃ¢i. Curajul s?-?i pese este m?rturia acestei profesiuni de credin??.
Niciodat? asistentele medicale n-au fost mai importante.
Beneficiem de competen?a lor Ã¿n spitale ?i Ã¿n multe alte medii: Ã¿n ?coli, pe strad?, Ã¿n Ã¿nchisori, aziluri ?i centre de Ã¿ngrijire. CÃ¢nd ne sim?im din cale-afar? de singuri, asistentele sunt lÃ¢ng? noi ca s? ne aduc? aminte c? lucrurile nu stau deloc a?a.
Ã¿n Curajul s?-?i pese, Christie Watson face cunoscut? amploarea muncii asistentelor, dÃ¢nd exemple dintre cele mai elocvente: o asistent? comunitar? pentru s?n?tate mintal? Ã¿?i ofer? sprijinul total unui b?rbat care sufer? de depresie sever?. Un adolescent care a fost Ã¿njunghiat este Ã¿ngrijit la terapie intensiv? pediatric?; cÃ¢nd asistenta medical? de la ?coala lui Ã¿l viziteaz?, toat? furia ?i teribilismul lui dispar. O femeie Ã¿ns?rcinat? pierde cantit??i Ã¿nfrico??toare de sÃ¢nge Ã¿n urma unui accident de ma?in?; cea care coordoneaz? departamentul de primiri urgen?e cu extraordinar? eficien?? ?i st?pÃ¢nire de sine este o asistent? medical? cu experien?? Ã¿n armat?.

Equal Citizenship and Public Reason
av Christie Hartley, Lori Watson
This book is a defense of political liberalism as a feminist liberalism. The first half of the book develops and defends a novel interpretation of political liberalism. It is argued that political liberals should accept a restrictive account of public reason and that political liberals' account of public justification is superior to the leading alternative, the convergence account of public justification. The view is defended from the charge that such a restrictive account of public reason will unduly threaten or undermine the integrity of some religiously oriented citizens and an account of when political liberals can recognize exemptions, including religious exemptions, from generally applicable laws is offered. In the second half of the book, it is argued that political liberalism's core commitments restrict all reasonable conceptions of justice to those that secure genuine, substantive equality for women and other marginalized groups. Here it is demonstrated how public reason arguments can be used to support law and policy needed to address historical sites of women's subordination in order to advance equality; prostitution, the gendered division of labor and marriage, in particular, are considered.

Language of Kindness
av Christie Watson
Read Costa Award-winning author Christie Watson's incredible No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling memoir of nursing today. 'It made me cry. It made me think. It made me laugh' Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt and Twas the Nightshift Before Christmas Christie Watson was a nurse for twenty years. Taking us from birth to death and from A&E to the mortuary, The Language of Kindness is an astounding account of a profession defined by acts of care, compassion and kindness. We watch Christie as she nurses a premature baby who has miraculously made it through the night, we stand by her side during her patient's agonising heart-lung transplant, and we hold our breath as she washes the hair of a child fatally injured in a fire, attempting to remove the toxic smell of smoke before the grieving family arrive. In our most extreme moments, when life is lived most intensely, Christie is with us. She is a guide, mentor and friend. And in these dark days of division and isolationism, she encourages us all to stretch out a hand.'A powerful insight into the life of nurses' The Times, Books of the Year'A remarkable book about life and death and so brilliantly written it makes you hold your breath' Ruby Wax

Moral Injuries
av Christie Watson
From the Sunday Times bestselling and award-winning author Christie Watson, comes a heart-pounding new psychological drama of secrets, lies, morals and medicine.'Unique and compelling' ELIZABETH DAY 'True literary perfection' EMMA JANE UNSWORTH'Heart-stopping, twisting, funny and frightening' CHRIS WHITAKER'Enthralling, gripping, deliciously dark... An immersive, unforgettable gem' RACHEL CLARKE'Propulsive, funny and filled with suspense'SARAH LANGFORDYou're trained to save the lives of others. How far would you go to protect your own? Ruthlessly ambitious Olivia, anxious perfectionist Laura and free-spirited risk-taker Anjali couldn't be more different. Yet their friendship, which began on the first day of medical school, has kept them inseparable for twenty-five years. As wild all-nighters and exam pressures gave way to the struggles and joys of new motherhood and intense jobs, their bond remained unbreakable. Years ago they promised that nothing would come between them and that they'd do anything for one another, including burying one night they have never spoken about: a drug-fuelled university party that forced them to make a deadly choice that could still destroy them. When an eerily similar tragedy strikes involving their teenage children, everything the three women have built threatens to shatter around them. And they are left asking: just how far can you stretch a friendship before it snaps?'Each new twist screeches like nails on plaster'KATHRYN MANNIX'Where medicine meets morality... with page-turning twists' NATHAN FILER'Intelligent, propulsive and disturbing... I couldn't put it down' NIKKI SMITH'An extraordinary book'JOHN SUTHERLAND'No-one writes about the drama of medicine like Christie Watson'DR GAVIN FRANCIS
