Carol is hopeful, but not promising, the signed copies will be available for Christmas gift-giving and will ship them as soon as they are ready!
Books ordered directly from Amazon should arrive in plenty of time, she said.
Here’s a quick look at the storyline courtesy of Carol.
Louisa, a newlywed, finds herself in a time of war and determines to make a difference by joining Florence Nightingale in Scutari, Turkey. Her journey proves both physical and emotional as she learns the time to heal is hers as well as those for whom she has influence. Other key characters in the novel include: Mary Elizabeth, a timid nun; James Calhoun, a skeptic Scot; and Catherine, her emotional mother.
Carol also shared an excerpt from the book:
 “Louisa woke as the ship lurched once again. Not another storm! This time nausea took a moment to manifest itself. Louisa tried to lie still, taking several deep breaths in an attempt to fend off the sickness. She was glad Papa wasn’t here. He was always so proud of his Little Warrior. “Strong as a Shire and appealing as an Arabian,” he would say. Papa would never believe his Little Warrior wasn’t seaworthy.”
