The life of pioneering Jamaican nurse Mary Seacole gets its dramatic due in a sweeping and stunning biography.

Mary Seacole spent much of her life on the front lines of the Crimean War, ministering to the wounded, caring for soldiers, and making her mark on the world of medicine. This fascinating biography honors Mary Seacole's life, from her childhood in Kingston, Jamaica, and her encounters with racist Americans to her treatment of cholera patients in Panama and her bitter run-in with Florence Nightingale, who declined to work with her in Crimea because she wasn't white. But Mary Seacole knew that the sick and wounded needed her compassion and care, and despite all obstacles, she answered the call to help them. Author Susan Goldman Rubin gives voice to this fearless nurse and healer through captivating details drawn from Mary Seacole's own writings, while debut illustrator Richie Pope vividly captures her service at the bedside and on the battlefield. Inspiring and engaging, this biography introduces a compelling heroine who rose above barriers to earn a place in history.

Love the soap
Scent: Oatmeal & Honey
I bought this soap for my dry winter skin. It feels good and doesn't dry me out. I use a washcloth to apply it, as it dissolves quickly. I think the price is a bit high, but it's worth it for the results. I'll buy it again.

Heals skin
It definitely dries out your skin quickly but I do recommend moisture so the skin won’t crack or you get open cuts as your dermatitis is healing. I have dermatitis really bad where my skin drys and hurts when I have a cut, So far it’s working as intended.

THIS ITEM WORKED WONDERS FOR ME..
DURING THIS WINTER SKIN PROBLEMS WERE PRESENT SO I TRIED THIS ITEM, AT FIRST I NOTICED THAT IT MADE MY SKIN FEEL REALLY DRY BUT IT DID CALM MY SKIN DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE THE ISSUES, WHICH WERE BECOMING INTENSE, JUST DISAPPEARED AFTER I USED IT 2-3 TIMES EVEN ON MY FACE, SO PERHAPS DRYNESS IS WHAT ENDED MY SKIN ISSUES (PSORIASIS) I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE PAST USING OILS AND CREAMS WHICH HAVE MADE MY ISSUES WORSE SOOOOOO THIS ITEM WAS A SUCCESS FOR ME.
