Product Description: Rose knew that cancer struck terror into the hearts of rich and poor alike. Her friend, Emma Lazarus, had died of cancer. Emma was the author of the words on the Statue of Liberty, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses...." Emma's end was eased by all the comforts that money could buy and the love of a caring family. Yet pain tightened her lips, and an unpleasant odor hung over her room. Rose agonized in thinking, What must cancer be like for the poor who had no family, no comforts, no money?
A plan formed in Rose's mind. Although she was next door to poverty herself, she would rent cheap rooms in the poorest part of town. There she would offer free nursing to poor and homeless women.
