CARE IS A FOUR-LETTER VERB was conceived when Molly O'Dell finally accepted the fact that care, in her beloved profession, had become a noun. With poems, a bit of prose and a prayer, Molly explores multiple dimensions of experiences she cares about in her own life. A reader will enter clear streams, intimate landscapes, and catch snippets from the upbringing of a physician, her medicine and how she became comfortable in her own skin.
