A young girl can’t stop bleeding, a husband has just found out his wife has terminal cancer.

A twenty-five-year-old has been permanently disfigured by her abusive boyfriend. A young nurse was found hanged in her room, the note she left stating stress from work and bullying.

I and my fellow colleagues have spent years trying to save these lives, and in turn help our colleagues; sometimes we succeed, sometimes God has other plans, or things become so embroiled that we are helpless to help. More so now with the added nightmare of battling the Covid-19 epidemic, things have become unbearable. Watching the young, elderly and fellow nurses and doctors die on a daily basis. Having to wear unbearable PPE for gruelling 14 hr shifts.

This is a story of hope, pain, death, and a twist of fate so unreal that it would change my life forever. I used to think good things and luck only happened to other people, until it happened to me. First I became ill myself, nearly died, survived through the sheer hard work of my colleagues, and had a stroke of luck so freaky that it would change my life forever.

Hope floats and good things do happen if you believe hard enough.

Beth Montgomery was born in Greece and has lived in England and Hell’s Kitchen New York. She moved permanently to the UK where she pursued various careers such as Fashion Illustration and Freelance Journalism, before embarking in a long career in healthcare. Until everything changed in one night. Do you believe in luck? Beth didn’t till the unbelievable happened.

    Thank you so much for sending me a copy of Life and Death. I've been re-reading the text, which confirms my earlier opinion that the book is the most honest and candid available on the realities of the everyday work of an NHS nurse. This is particularly true in the covid-related chapters. You write with a vivid style, which drives your narrative along at a cracking pace. The cover design is also very striking and strong. If you and the publisher promote it well, your sales should be excellent. Getting onto programmes like Woman's Hour on Radio 4 would be a big help. So, very well done and good luck with your book.
