MARY LIGHTFINE

After working sixteen years as a nurse in emergency rooms throughout the United States, Mary Lightfine uproots her life and plants herself in the middle of Mogadishu, Somalia where she decides to join an organization called Doctors Without Borders. That decision gave her a chance to feel what war, starvation and desperation was like from another completely different perspective that changed her life forever. During the past twelve years Mary has lived and worked in over a dozen countries, including some of the most hellish spots on earth; she has appeared in LIFE Magazine, The History Channel and on countless news headlines, as well as National and International television.

Mary was ambushed and shot at in Somalia, delivered babies in the jungles of Sri Lanka, and traveled by jeep, foot and donkey in perilous Afghani Mountains full of land mines, to help isolated inhabitants. She brought food to remote villages by helicopter in Nicaragua, and Louisiana after the hurricanes and to starving refugees in South Sudan following the destruction of their villages by government alliances. She was one of the first to provide medical aid to Kosovar refugees who had experienced unthinkable horrors. Today Mary is a nurse, pilot, public speaker and published author. She is also a seasoned veteran of the Nobel Prize winning organization, Doctors Without Borders and founder and President of Nurse Without Boundaries and Volunteers Without Boundaries.

Mary Lightfine has recently published an extraordinary new book entitled NURSES, NOMADS, AND WARLORDS. In this compelling true story Mary takes on the greatest challenge of her life when she wakes up one morning in the midst of an African war zone. Mary narrowly escapes an attempted kidnapping at gunpoint, death threats and the wiles of a lecherous pilot, as she struggles to help the masses caught in the middle of Somalia's civil conflict. Find out how to get a man off drugs by giving him a bath, how to save your colleague from large reef sharks, and learn what not to do when you find a bomb in your patient's bed. The characters are real, unforgettable and unique. An exciting, entertaining and challenging read; the next best thing to being there yourself!

Mary donates proceeds from book sales to non-profit charities.
