From the author of the groundbreaking
series, A Prairie Heritage, comes
the compelling story of fiery-haired, fiery-tempered Tabitha Hale. Rescued from
a life of depravity, Tabitha gives her heart to God and her life to nursing.
In nursing
school, this tenacious, redeemed woman perseveres toward the vocation God has placed
on her life. Tabitha knows that nursing is the service
her heart longs to render to God—but her temper and stubborn independence stand
between her and this selfless aspiration. Will Tabitha pass the trial by fire
that is necessary for God to truly use her?
And what is
Tabitha to do with her feelings for Mason Carpenter, the man who simply refuses
to give up on her? Is it even possible for God to ordain a shared future for
two such different people, both with fervent callings upon their hearts?
When the
Great War erupts in Europe, Carpenter leaves for England to train British
pilots to fly reconnaissance missions over Belgium and France. Soon after,
Tabitha hears God asking her to nurse the war wounded. However, because America
has not joined in the fight, Tabitha has few options. Will the elite British
Nursing Service make a place for her? Will they accept the services of an
American volunteer? And will Tabitha and Mason overcome the differences that
stand between them?
