Paula McKenzie asks herself one night what she's doing still
working in the county jail after twenty-five years on the night
shift. She could have retired a year ago to tend her garden and
travel around the country with her husband. Yet here she is giving
CPR to someone most people would say doesn't deserve the time of day,
much less a second chance at life.
During the next--and worst--three days of her life, she will
question her decision to stay with ever increasing wonder as she
deals with two suicides and one attempt, accusations of negligence, a
Grand Jury investigation, and a new, irrationally hostile boss.
For support and assistance, she turns to her husband and their
Bahá'í community. Their counsel helps her deal with all the turmoil
that surrounds her, but they cannot help her on her fourth and final
day.
