I'm very honoured to be one of the few people to have read Kristie's book and I absolutely assure you all it's a wonderful piece of work. Kristie is honestly one of the best authors I've had the privilege to read.

"If you’re a health-care worker who sees a patient in a mask, put one on for them. Don’t make them ask. Don’t psychologize them. Don’t betray the trust they’ve shown you. They’ve put their lives in your hands. Don’t take that for granted, it’s not an easy thing for many of us to do"
