Angel of
Mercy (WWI Trilogy Book 1) Kindle Edition
by Melina Druga
She had her
entire life planned until the Great War began and everything changed.
April 1914. Barrie, Ontario. Hettie Steward is
feisty, educated, ambitious and stubborn. Her fiancé, Geoffrey Bartlette,
the love of her life since childhood, has been a patient man. He waited
while she attended nursing school and worked a year, but now it is time to
wed. While Hettie is thrilled to be starting her life with Geoffrey, she
laments that marriage means sacrificing her beloved nursing career, and
domestic life brings her nothing but drudgery and boredom.
When the Great War begins a few months into their marriage,
Geoffrey enlists and persuades Hettie to join the Canadian Army Nursing Service
and follow him overseas. After all, everyone says the war will be short,
and it will be their opportunity to have a proper honeymoon. Returning to
work is exactly what Hettie was craving, and she eager accepts.
The war, however, does not end quickly. Soon tragedy
strikes, proving true the old adage “be careful what you wish for, you just
might get it.” Geoffrey is killed at the Second Battle of Ypres, and
Hettie is faced with a choice. Return home or stay in Europe and continue
nursing? Moreover, will she discover the person she is meant to be now that
her life has been steered onto a new path?
Angel of Mercy is the first in a
trilogy following Hettie and her family as they navigate the challenges and
heartbreak World War 1 brings.
Praise for
Angel of Mercy:
“In Angel Of Mercy, we step off the
battlefield to the place that those injured men go to either be healed or to
die. We see the horrors of war through the eyes of the young nurses who also
thought that their stay would be short with a chance for adventure or to meet
the loves of their lives. It’s a side of war that we often fail to see or look
into. I think it’s definitely a book that history and romance fiction lovers
will enjoy.” – Tiffany Ferrell for Readers' Favorite
“Melina creates a very fast moving plot which keeps us
riveted throughout the book. I enjoyed the tight pace of Melina’s book, the
conversations of the people in the book and the picturesque descriptions of
those bygone times and places.” – Orla Connors for Zavesti

"Melina
creates a very fast moving plot which keeps us riveted throughout the book. I
enjoyed the tight pace of Melina's book, the conversations of the people in the
book and the picturesque descriptions of those bygone times and
places." -- zavesti.com
"I thought
Melina Druga did an awesome job with this story. I'm always coming across so
many World War Two novels about soldiers or ladies waiting at home for their
loves to return that it was nice to see one about the First World War. We
always hear about the British, Germans, Russians and the Americans when it
comes to this war. Canada always seemed to be put on the back-burner even
though many men and women volunteered to fight and help Britain."
