heartbreak.”—Marilyn Dahl, Shelf Talker

vulnerable human bodies and bonds, A Final Arc of Sky . . . is a
disturbing, powerful read.”—Lynda V. Mapes, Seattle Times

the front lines of mortality. . . . Culkin writes with elegiac

”Absorbing . . . This former neonatal and pediatric
intensive-care nurse has vivid memories of the tiny patients whose
lives were in her hands, and she writes of them with warmth and
clarity. . . . Powerful and lucid . . . The risks of being an
emergency flight nurse-night flights, bad weather, human error-come
fully alive. . . . Enthralling.”—Kirkus Reviews

provocative explorations of the borderland between life and death,

my adrenaline.”—Ann Pancake, author of Strange as This Weather Has
