Where Night Is Day is a nonfiction narrative grounded in the day-by-day, hour-by-hour rhythms of an ICU, in a teaching hospital, in the heart of New Mexico.

Drawing on the words of medical historians, doctor-writers, and nursing scholars, Kelly examines the relationship of professional and lay observers, to the meaning of illness, empathy, caring, and the silence of suffering.
