    Henrietta Dorothy Huskisson was born in January 1851 in Gillingham, Kent. 
    Little reliable information on her life is available and almost nothing on her early life.   
    The first concrete information concerns her marriage at age 18 to the solicitor Isaac Edward Everett. 
    It was only at the age of 44 that she began her literary career under the pseudonym of Theo Douglas, a popular device in a society that still frowned upon women writing for income. 
    During her lifetime she was a popular author and wrote 22 books and those were published by 17 different publishers. 
    Although she wrote some historical novels her main output was centered on fantasy and supernatural themes. 
    Henrietta Dorothy Everett died in Weston-on-Trent in Derbyshire in September 1923.

    This memoir tells the story of Georgia physician Dhaval Desai's life during the Covid-19 pandemic. As a new father, frontline physician and healthcare leader on the brink of burnout, and a member of an ethnic minority in the South, his tale is marked by chaotic intersections.  His commitment to fostering and advocating for humanity in medicine inspired him to write a personal narrative of his experience as a frontline physician during the COVID-19 pandemic, "Burning Out on the Covid Front Lines: A Doctor’s Memoir of Fatherhood, Race and Perseverance in the Pandemic". Along with sharing the story of his own struggles as a leader and healer during a time of intense pressure and uncertainty for countless doctors, nurses, and hospital workers, Dr. Desai calls attention to ongoing issues plaguing the healthcare system, including health inequality, racial injustice, an emphasis on metrics over compassion in treatment, and the alarming rate of burnout and suicide among healthcare professionals.
