ABOUT THE BOOK


Hazel Thornton has one great ambition: to help the sick and wounded as a nurse. But that dream can never become a reality. After a devastating childhood trauma, she has spent her life battling fits of panic that make it impossible to finish her studies. Everything changes, however, when a trip to Spain takes a perilous turn that derails her plans to visit her father for Christmas and immediately plunges her into the dangers of a brutal war.

With single-minded focus, she springs into action to help her fellow travelers. To ensure their continued care, she begins work at a Spanish hospital alongside Dr. Jim Jackson, a man whose only emotion seems to be wariness of his new assistant. Armed with gifts of support from each of her dearest friends, a group that dubs themselves the Blue Orchid Society, Hazel embarks on a journey of hope and healing to battle the demons of her past with the help of the doctor who has captured her heart.

EXCERPT

As soon as they came near the tree line, people rushed toward them or cried out, each competing for the doctors’ attention. The orderlies and nurses settled the crowd, and Dr. Laurent reassured the patients in a loud voice that they’d all be tended to, but Jim gave little notice. His entire attention was directed at the young uniformed soldier lying on the ground. The scene around them faded. Jim stood again on the Gettysburg battlefield with the smell of cannon smoke still thick in the air. Dying horses screamed. Around him soldiers moaned and called out in pain. Most were unnaturally still. Many were his friends. But there was only one he searched for. And when he at last found him, it was too late. “The bleeding’s stopped, but he still hasn’t woken.” The young woman’s voice pulled Jim from his memory.
