That’s when Jo took a job as a public health nurse. It would be her job to find and help the sick children of New York City.
Jo's Aunt Abby had taught Jo to question everything. Soon she began questioning the way people raised their babies. At first no one listened, but when people started listening, their babies stopped dying.
