Rent Dr. York, Miss Winnie, and the Typhoid Shot

Synopsis

This won't hurt a bit.' In rural North Carolina, in 1951, despite parental reassurances, a typhoid shot hurt. It hurt even more when you saw who would be administering the shot--Miss Winnie, a large, dictatorial nurse who had been 'especially built by the nursing school so she would never blow away in a hard wind.' In this hilarious epic tale, our young hero learns three valuable lessons: avoiding pain only heightens it; a mother's wrath can hurt worse than a shot; and growing up sometimes involves choosing the lesser of two evils.
