A nurse’s front-line faith during the Civil War reveals courage, compassion, and the power of witness in the darkest hours.
This memoir follows a volunteer nurse as she joins the St. Mark and other hospital ships, cares for wounded soldiers, and offers comfort, guidance, and hope. Through quiet acts of kindness and bold conversations about faith, the narrative shows how devotion can transform fear into purpose and heal deep wounds—both physical and spiritual. The book paints scenes of daily service, fellowship with fellow workers, and moments that echo long after the battles end.
