Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. As half the esteemed writing team of Jane and Michael Stern, Jane Stern had achieved every success a writer can hope for: acclaim, bestsellerdom, and the opportunity to travel the world. But five years ago Stern found herself gripped by a terrible depression. She became reclusive and paranoid, immobilized by panic attacks and hypochondria. AMBULANCE GIRl is the story of how she survived a midlife crisis and severe depression by doing exactly the opposite of what she had found comfortable for a lifetime. With humility and humor Stern recalls 140 hours of rigorous training in the classroom of an ex-Marine who did his best to frighten her off with EMT horror stories. She describes a night spent in a hospital ER dealing with a schizophrenic karate teacher who had just tried to kill his mother, and the confusion and sometimes pathos of her first calls as a rookie EMT. And as time goes by, Stern's new vocation opens her eyes to some of the secrets of human nature and the inner life of the town she had called home for 20 years. Each call Stern describes is a vignette of human nature, often with a life in the balance. From an AIDS hospice to town drunks, yuppie wife beaters to psychopaths, Jane comes to see the true nature and underlying mysteries of a town she had called home for twenty years. Throughout the book we follow her as she gets her sea legs and finally bonds with the burly, handsome firefighters who become her colleagues. At the end, she is named the first woman officer of the department-a triumph we joyously share with her.Fine, first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. {Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] NFBS2, Crown Publishers, Inc, 2003, 5<

Very Good.. Hardcover. Hardcover with jacket 2003 Crown. Possibly Book Club Edition. Very clean; pages bright; binding tight. Only light wear. 228pp. Language: English. 'In broad terms, this is a familiar story: a woman is dissatisfied with her lot, embarks upon a life-altering, seemingly ill- advised adventure that fills her with hope and happiness. But fill in the details, and you find a very unusual story, indeed. Stern wasn't just any workaday person; she was a writer, a popular author of more than 20 books, a magazine editor, and a radio commentator. Her dissatisfaction wasn't your typical midlife angst, but a deep and paralyzing depression that, by the time she was in her early 50s, had rendered her unable to travel or appear in public. And her life-altering adventure was, of all things, becoming an emergency medical technician, a volunteer job that literally put other people's lives in her hands. Making the switch from author of such books as The Encyclopedia of Pop Culture to EMT put a bit of a strain on both Stern and her husband, but it enriched her in ways that readers will find both touching and surprising. A remarkable variation on a time- honored theme.'--David Pitt, Booklist., 3<
