«El llenguatge de la tendresa» is the memoir by Christie Watson, published by Columna CAT in paperback (320 pages, in Catalan).
Christie Watson recounts her twenty years as a nurse and the lesson she learns: caring for others demands unconditional love. The book moves through hospital scenes such as the first night of a premature baby or the hand of a transplant patient, and shows that nursing is defined by compassion and kindness.
Originally published as The Language of Kindness: A Nurse's Story, with a Catalan translation by Núria Parés Sellarès. It belongs to the No Ficció Columna collection.
A work aimed at readers interested in healthcare, memoirs, and stories about the vocation of caring for others.
