Join us at The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow for an evening celebrating long-time alumna Dr. Jocelyn Cullity and the launch of her new novel, The Nurse at Baker Hospital.

For over a decade, Dairy Hollow has been a home away from home for Cullity, who has written three books during her stays here. Her newest novel draws on the true story of Norman Baker, shaped by years of research in Eureka Springs and insights from local historians. Set at the historic Crescent Hotel — which Baker operated as a fraudulent cancer hospital in the late 1930s — the book brings her back to WCDH for a special homecoming launch.

Enjoy light hors d’oeuvres, connect with fellow literary lovers, and celebrate this incredible achievement!

A portion of proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow.
