About Praying for Restraint
Praying for Restraint tells the story of Allen Long, an assistant nurse recovering from PTSD, who successfully struggles to survive an inner-city hospital work environment that is so toxic that it threatens his body, soul, and marriage. The book is both a triumphant memoir and an expose of a hospital so horrific that it nearly defies belief.
