A nurse. A wife. A war that will test her soul.
Henrietta Hettie Steward is not your ordinary bride-to-be. Feisty, educated, and fiercely ambitious, she dreams of continuing her work as a nurse, but society expects her to abandon her career for marriage.
When the echoes of the Great War thunder across the world, Hettie's dreams collide with reality. Her husband enlists and persuades Hettie to follow, convinced it's their only opportunity for a honeymoon. Hettie, stifled by domesticity, happily defies convention and joins the Canadian Army Nursing Service.
Leaving the familiarity of Ontario behind for the chaos of battle, Hettie arrives in Europe eager to reclaim her purpose. But as the war drags on, she finds herself thrust into a world of courage, heartbreak and sacrifice. Soon, Hettie faces an agonizing choice that will determine the course of her life. Will she find the strength to redefine herself and forge a new identity?
Angel of Mercy is a poignant WWI historical novel about one woman's strength when duty and love collide. Perfect for fans of early 20th-century women's fiction, be prepared to see the war through a nurse's eyes and enter a world of courage, love and sacrifice.
