नमस्ते, मेरा नाम Finn है और मैं इस किताब को समझने में आपकी मदद करूंगा।

यह रहा, ऐसे समझाया गया जैसे आप 10 साल के हों:

Mary Seacole ने Jamaica में अपनी माँ से उपचार सीखा, जहाँ लोग बीमार होने पर उनके परिवार के घर आते थे। वह Panama के लिए समुद्र पार गईं ताकि हैज़े से पीड़ित लोगों की देखभाल कर सकें, फिर Crimea में एक युद्ध के लिए रवाना हुईं जब सेना ने उनकी मदद को मना कर दिया। वह फिर भी गईं, लड़ाई के पास एक होटल खोला, सैनिकों को खिलाया, और घायलों की सेवा की। यह उनकी अपनी जीवंत कहानी है।
