Synopsis

After her father’s death, nurse Della King is on the brink of homelessness—until she lands a job at the prestigious Baker Hospital in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. What promises safety and purpose—for both Della and the terminally ill patients who come from across the country—hides a far darker reality. When her beloved patients begin to die, Della must confront her deepest fears and navigate a web of secrets that tests her loyalty, courage, and sense of self. Torn between survival and doing what is right, she risks everything to uncover the truth. The Nurse at Baker Hospital is a gripping tale of mystery, hidden histories, and self-discovery, exploring what it takes to find one’s place in a dangerous, unpredictable world.

Quotes

“Drawing on primary sources, the novel meets the highest standards of historical fiction while reading with the urgency of a thriller. Though the events are rooted in the past, the lessons they offer are not merely relevant—they are urgently so.”

“Cullity’s immersive and richly-detailed novel brings the fascinating story of the real Baker Hospital to life through Della, a young nurse who begins to suspect all is not as it seems beneath the perfect veneer of the hospital and its charismatic founder. Suspenseful, engrossing, and beautifully crafted, this historical tale evokes deeply relevant parallels to dangers that persist in the wellness industry today. An absolute mustread.”

“An engrossing story that exposes past medical fraud at an astonishing level.”

“Using the factual Baker Hospital in Eureka Springs to present a fictional collision between innocence and corruption, Cullity has created a swiftly-moving, thought-provoking, deeply-researched narrative with chilling relevance to our own times.”
