I am reviewing a copy of Mercy Road through Lake House Publishing and Netgallley:
1917 Arlene Farvier looses her home and Father in the same fire, and finds out most of her Father’s money is gone so she must find a way to support her mother and younger brother. If she doesn’t succeed, they will all be poor. The problem is job opportunities are scarce, so when a daring opportunity arises she must take it, the American Women’s Hospital needs ambulance drivers to join a trailblazing, all-female team of doctors and nurses bound for war-torn France.
While on the frontlines Arlene and her fellow ambulance drivers work day and night to aid injured soldiers and civilians. While in between dangerous ambulance runs Arlene reunites with a childhood friend, Jimmy Tucker, who is now a soldier. She opens her heart to Jimmy like she had to no one before. Arlene has not only caught the attention of Jimmy, but also of Felix Brohammer, a charismatic army captain who harbors a dark, treacherous secret.
Exposing Brohammer means risking her family’s future and the promise of love. Arlene must make a choice: stay in the safety of silence or take the greatest chance of her life.
If you are looking for an excellent World War 1 era novel I highly recommend Mercy Road!
Five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
