Ellen Michaeson, 2019 winner of the MBF/de Groot Prize for the Novella, has crafted a moving story about vulnerability and friendship in The Care of Strangers. Described by Publishers Weekly as an “affecting glimpse into the evolution of friendship between women facing difficult odds,” Michaelson’s protagonists learn that letting yourself care for another person can be the best way to find yourself. Fellow physician-writer Daniela Lamas, author of You Can Stop Humming Now: A Doctor’s Stories of Life, Death, and in Between, guides Michaelson’s discussion of those themes.
