For King, Country, and Love - Paperback

by Mark Barie (Author)

Elizabeth Parsons, a part-time librarian in St. John's Newfoundland, is attacked by the playboy son of a wealthy and influential businessman. Her quest for justice, her dream of becoming a midwife, and her love-hate interest in a local boy, are all interrupted by The Great War.

When most of the men in the small city enlist with the British Army, Elizabeth volunteers as an overseas nurse. She is catapulted into a world of horrific violence, broken men, and dying soldiers. The death and destruction of war exacts its toll on each of them, leaving emotional and physical scars which change them in ways she could never have imagined.

From the trenches of Gallipoli to the skies over France, this historically accurate story of love and war will leave you spell bound as you follow in the footsteps of those who fought, died, and survived a world war. Mark Barie's fifth novel in his award-winning series on love and war, promises to keep the reader on an emotional roller coaster of horror, heartbreak, and happiness. It is a read you do NOT want to miss.
