"Sweater Without Borders" by Jacqui Davey tells the story of District Nurse Jenny who continues to grieve after the tragic loss of her husband, firefighter Steve. That night, while cleaning at the attic, she discovers an old knitting bag belonging to her late aunt, Sue. In the bag, Jenny finds a sweater pattern for a child and some old knitting needles that she was using during overseas trips to visit patients.
The memories of Sue's selfless acts of altruism inspire Jenny to take matters into her own hands and knit a small sweater, even though she considered herself a terrible knitter. She decides to donate this sweater to Claire, a young medical resident headed to South Sudan for her medical electives. However, the act of turning over a sweater to someone in need sets Jenny on a path towards her own personal development as a doctor and humanitarian.

Описание книги от Jacqui Davey
District Nurse Jenny is still grieving after the tragic death of her firefighter husband, Steve, in a fire 18 months ago. One evening, Jenny goes to the attic to clear out some of Steve's items and finds her late Aunt Sue's knitting bag, which she took on her overseas nursing trips, containing a child's sweater pattern and a pair of old needles. The memories of her aunt's altruism cause Jenny to purchase some wool and try knitting a small sweater herself, despite being a hopeless knitter at school, and donate this garment to a student doctor setting off to Sudan for a medical elective. At a large refugee camp clinic, young medical student Claire issues the sweater to a young injured girl, setting in motion a personal journey of charity and growth for Jenny – but where will that journey end?
