About this ebook
"Getting tuberculosis in the middle of your life is like starting downtown to do a lot of urgent errands and being hit by a bus. When you regain consciousness you remember nothing about the urgent errands. You can't even remember where you were going."
Thus begins Betty MacDonald's memoir of her year in a sanatorium just outside Seattle battling the "white plague." MacDonald used her offbeat humor to make the most of her time in the TB sanatorium - making all of us laugh in the process.
