The Pattern Shop: a book club for nurses

​"If Eleanorah's hands couldn't tell fear from love, how could she heal?"

​Read The Pattern Shop, by Mariah Friend, a literary fiction novel featuring Eleanorah, a young nurse who realizes she can't save her family or her patients, so she trades her stethoscope for a mustard-colored backpack and a one-way ticket to see if she can still save herself.

​

​We'll discuss her journey from working in the ICU to the events that led her to quitting her job and the toll it took on her health and relationships before finally choosing herself.

​Gather with other nurses and healthcare professionals to share your own stories of grief, burnout, and healing, even when it looks different than you first imagined.

​Join author Mariah Friend, a former ICU nurse and debut author whose own experiences inspired her to write The Pattern Shop.

​Nurses and healthcare providers who buy a copy of The Pattern Shop from Mariah's website will receive a 20% discount with the code #NurseCare2026 at checkout!
