About this ebook
Angel of Mercy transports readers to 1914 Canada, where the world is on the brink of war and one young woman must choose between love and purpose.
Henrietta “Hettie” Steward dreams of continuing her work as a nurse, but society — and her husband — expect her to abandon her career for domestic life. When war erupts in Europe and her husband enlists, Hettie defies convention and joins the Canadian Army Nursing Service. Thrust into a world of courage, heartbreak and sacrifice, she witnesses the devastating cost of battle while fighting her own inner wars of identity and devotion.
In a time when women’s voices often were silenced, Hettie’s journey of resilience and compassion shines. Angel of Mercy is a moving historical novel of love, loss, and finding strength in the face of global turmoil. Perfect for fans of Jennifer Robson, Kate Quinn, and Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale.

About the author
Melina Druga is an author, freelance writer and history enthusiast. Her focus is on the period 1890-1920 with a particular interest in WW1 and how the war changed the lives of ordinary people. Melina finds this era fascinating because it is simultaneously familiar and antiquated, and because the events that happened during this time period set the tone for the remainder of the 20th century. Growing up, Melina's favorite book series included Little House on the Prairie and Anne of Green Gables. More recently, she's enjoyed the best historical fiction PBS' Masterpiece Theatre can offer, including Downton Abbey and Mr. Selfridge.
