The second boxed set, _Cherry Ames Boxed Set 5-8_, contains four early
Cherry classics: _Flight Nurse, Veterans' Nurse, Private Duty Nurse_,
and _Visiting Nurse_.
CHERRY AMES, FLIGHT NURSE
In _FLIGHT NURSE_, the United States is still fighting World War II.
Cherry Ames is still an Army Nurse, this time aloft--as a flight
nurse. Cherry is reunited with her corpsman Bunce--the two of them are
in sole charge of ferrying severely wounded men out of the battlefield
and to the nearest Army hospital. Much to Pilot Wade Cooper's chagrin,
he has been taken off bomber duty to fly the wounded to safety--until
Cherry makes him see otherwise. Off duty, the nurses "adopt"
6-year-old Muriel Grainger, who has known nothing but war in her short
life, and whose mother has been killed by the Germans. Her father is
often out on mysterious errands that cause some to label him a "spy."
Cherry makes it her risky business to find out if this is truth or
rumor.
CHERRY AMES, VETERANS' NURSE
In _VETERANS' NURSE_, the war is over, and Cherry is sent home. Her
new assignment is working in a veteran's hospital, where she finds her
biggest challenge in raising the spirits of men who have lost arms,
legs, or other body parts. Will they be welcomed back to their
families and able to work again? Jim Travers, the woodworker who has
lost a leg and was the sole support of his elderly mother, isn't
convinced. But he finds he is of critical assistance to Cherry as she
tracks the mysterious thief who has robbed the Veteran's Centeer of a
medicine that can help a small boy recover from a deadly disease.
CHERRY AMES, PRIVATE DUTY NURSE
In _PRIVATE DUTY NURSE_, Cherry has finally been discharged from the
Army and is back to civilian life. What should she do next after her
intense years of Army nursing? Dr. Joe finds her a job as the private
nurse of a celebrated musician suffering from a dangerous heart
condition. How can Cherry help him avoid the deadly stress his devoted
sister unintentially causes when she visits fortuneteller after
fortuneteller? Will their family secret be revealed?
CHERRY AMES, VISITING NURSE
In _VISITING NURSE_, Cherry reunites with her old Spencer classmates
Gwen, Bertha, Josie, Vivian, and Mai Lee, when they all decide to take
an apartment together in New York City, and work for the Visiting
Nurse Service of New York. Greenwish Village is a far cry from Hilton,
Illinois, and farm-raised Bertha is ready to mutiny when she tries to
cook in their tiny kitchen. Assigned to a specific neighborhood,
Cherry marvels at the many countries her patients come from--and is
determined to resolve the loneliness of a few of them by having them
all meet at an "Around the World" Dinner at the local settlement
house. But who is the mysterious woman who lives in the Victorian
mansion at the center of her district? Why hasn't she been seen by
anyone in the past 18 years?
