Eager to do even more for the war effort, nurse Gwen Milford puts in for a transfer from a convalescent hospital outside of London to an evac hospital headed across Europe. Leap-frogging from one location to the next, nothing goes as expected from stolen supplies to overwhelming numbers of casualties. Then, there’s the handsome doctor who seems to be assigned to her every shift. As another Christmas approaches without the war’s end, can she find room in her heart for love?

Evan Hamden, childless widower, searches for a cure for TB. While drawn to Miss Maddock, he resists falling in love, because he has a lifetime of work ahead of him and doesn’t want any distractions such as marriage or family. But when his patients start dying, he doesn’t know who to trust. Certainly not this invisible God Miss Maddock relies on.
Can Evan and Elizabeth discover whether his treatment plan is faulty, or is somebody behind the deaths? Can they trust each other—and God—to reveal the truth?

This comment is for Donna Schlachter. Your book on you listed here sounds interesting. I'd be interested in where you got the idea and how you did your research. Thank you. teshaw@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteHi Tammie, great question! "A Fresh Start for Elizabeth" is book 3 of a series called The Recipe Box series, in which a single recipe box is handed down through the generations. The books are set about 50 years apart, starting in 1784-ish with the first box. A friend and I developed the idea for the series, but so far I'm the only one to write into it. The idea for this book came from the fact I wanted to set the story in Colorado. As you can imagine, in 1784 and even 1834, there wasn't much to talk about in Colorado, so those stores are set further east. However, by 1884, Denver is here, as are Boulder, Loveland, Estes Park, and more. I thought I'd like a little medical stuff in this story, so I found a tuberculosis sanitarium in Boulder and started there. I love herbal remedies, and have included them in several books, and this seemed like a natural fit, too. Thanks for asking, and good luck in the drawing!
ReplyDeleteThis is a stellar lineup of books. As I often say, may they fly off the shelves into the hands of avid readers who love them and review them!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThank you so much.
DeleteThis question is for Linda Shenton Matchet. How did you come up with the idea to write War' s Unexpected Gift? I absolutely love reading historical fiction books.
ReplyDeleteGwen is a secondary character in my book, A Doctor in the House which was inspired by a combination of the first female doctor commissioned officer in the Army Medical Corps and the country manors England requisitioned for everything from hospitals and school to orphanages and troops barracks. I thought she deserved her own story, but didn't want to do a requisitioned house story, so I looked up other ways nurses served, and I learned about the 96th evac hospital (think M*A*S*H) that made their way across Europe as the Allies pushed German troops back to Germany.
DeleteMy question is for Joannie Alexander. I love the cover of your book. I would love to read this fabulous book. Did you have to do a lot of research for your book? Where Teasure Hides
