Hettie Steward is not your ordinary bride-to-be. Feisty, educated, and fiercely ambitious, she stands on the brink of a life she has long dreamed of — until the weight of societal expectations threatens to confine her to the shadows of domesticity. Having devoted herself to nursing, the love she feels for her fiancé, Geoffrey Bartlette, is eclipsed by the haunting thought that marriage means trading her aspirations for drudgery.
When the echoes of the Great War thunder across the world, Hettie's dreams collide with harsh reality. Geoffrey enlists and persuades Hettie to join the Canadian Army Nursing Service. She leaves the quaint familiarity of Ontario for the chaos of battle eager to reclaim her purpose and convinced it's the couple's only opportunity for a honeymoon. But as the war drags on with no end in sight and tragedy strikes, Hettie faces an agonizing choice that will determine the course of her life.
Will she find the strength to redefine herself amidst the ruins of war?
Angel of Mercy is the first gripping installment in a trilogy that will draw readers into the tumultuous landscape of World War I, and follow Hettie and her family as they navigate challenges and heartache.
This is a story of sacrifice, strength, and the enduring spirit of those who dare to hope. Join Hettie as she embarks to find her place in a world turned upside down. Discover if she can rise from the ashes of sorrow into the light of hope and purpose.
