Book description
Unable to defend herself, Doctor Amy Richmond has been falsely
accused and wrongly struck off the Medical Register. Shocked and
appalled, she thinks that this is the worst day of her life. She is
wrong. In the streets the newsboys are shouting the news - war with
the Kaiser's Germany.
Powerless to follow her profession, Amy
takes a new name and goes to France to work as an orderly. She is
determined to regain her reputation and her licence to
practise.
In the carnage and suffering of the First World War,
she finds the true meaning of sacrifice, hope and love.
Peggy Savage was born in Manchester prior to the Second World War and
went to a convent school where she gained a state scholarship to read
medicine at Newnham College. She subsequently became a GP before moving
into aviation medicine and working for a major airline abroad and at
home. Peggy finally retired to the Lake District to pursue writing. She
enjoys painting and walking and has one married son and a granddaughter.
