Stand Naked in the Wind is the journey of Kathleen Mary Mullin deMeo who, while living the American Dream, decides to jump-start her life in another direction. At 29, she goes back to school and emerges as Kate deMeo, RN, PhD. Kate plunges into the world of nursing. She takes us into the health-care system from a vantage point that few people see or understand. She deals with euthanasia, gang rape, abortion, attempted and fatal suicides, and still finds great satisfaction in helping her patients through their illnesses, pains and fears. Kate deMeo is a textbook nurse and Stand Naked in the Wind reflects the actions of real nurses in real hospital settings. Just as Kate has found the perfect life, her husband, Frank, announces his transfer to Belgium. She has no choice but to follow him or end their marriage. In Brussels, Kate finds a job at a large city hospital. Fascinated by her patients, many of whom are royalty, diplomats and world leaders, she also faces anti-Americanism, endures rape and rails against unnecessary deaths. Her new international life and the climate of the times leads to infidelities. Now 45, Kate is trying to deal with all of her problems. She s pregnant and can t be sure who the father is. Her Irish Catholic upbringing won t allow her to entertain the thought of an abortion. Then one of her former patients, the President of the United States, makes her an offer that she can t refuse. How she copes with one emotional issue after another is why Stand Naked in the Wind moves the reader from page to page in search of the answers.
