How Healthcare Dies Subtitle: and How Hope Brings It Back to Life
A working nurse's diagnosis of a system that can no longer keep its promises — to patients or to the people delivering care. How Healthcare Dies names moral injury as a systemic wound, not a personal failing, and hands the reader a map of what hope-based reform actually looks like when it stops being a slogan and starts being a workplace practice.
Transition to Care Subtitle: A Guide for New Nurses
Written for the nurse walking onto their first floor, and for the mentor who wants to send them in with more than a badge. Transition to Care is the field guide to nursing's hidden curriculum — the practical wisdom, the honest warnings, and the language for moral injury that most orientations skip. Two decades of bedside experience, distilled into what a new nurse actually needs to survive their first two years and build a career worth staying in.

Transition to Hope-Informed Care Subtitle: A revised and expanded second edition
Everything the first edition taught new nurses, plus what a year and a half of readers, letters, and floors have added: a full integration of Hope-Informed Care as the connective tissue between orientation and a sustainable career. Same audience. Bigger toolkit. Same promise — you are not the problem, and you are essential to the solution.

A separate project from the healthcare reform work, and the most personal book in the series. The Truth That Survived is a memoir about the kind of hope that keeps a person alive when nothing and no one else does — the version that shows up not as a mood but as a stubborn refusal to disappear. Written for readers who suspect that the softer books on hope have been leaving something out.

Pathway to Healing
Written with co-author Ashley Chancellor, Pathway to Healing pulls the diagnostic, practical, and personal threads of the earlier books into one roadmap — for individual clinicians, for teams, and for the leaders who want to repair a unit instead of just measuring it. The HOPE Assessment sits at the center: a way to measure where you are, name what recovery requires, and track whether the change is real.
Coming 2028
The Harless Method
The full framework, in one book. The Harless Method distills the ideas, tools, and practices from every earlier volume into a repeatable system for clinicians and leaders who want to reclaim their agency and rebuild their practice on hope-based ground. Clinical wisdom, narrative, and structured exercises — a bridge between understanding what is broken and doing something honest about it.
