Call to Courage
Book One in A Nurse’s Heart: The Evelyn Harrington Saga
By Eleanor Ashcroft

London, 1939. War is on the horizon, and the city braces itself for the unimaginable.

When spirited country nurse Evelyn Harrington steps off the bus at St. Mary’s Hospital, she finds herself plunged into the chaos of a city under siege. Amidst the echo of air raid sirens and the growing tide of wounded soldiers, Evelyn must summon strength she never knew she possessed. With dwindling supplies, bomb-damaged wards, and lives hanging in the balance, she learns quickly that compassion is its own form of courage.

But not all battles are fought with bandages. In the midst of wartime’s darkness, Evelyn finds herself clashing with—and gradually drawn to—the enigmatic and unyielding surgeon, Dr. William Edwards. Beneath his stern exterior lies a wounded heart of his own, and as the Blitz intensifies, so does the connection between them.

In a world shattered by conflict, can two healers learn to mend more than broken bodies? And will Evelyn’s bravery be enough to protect not just her patients, but the love she never expected to find?

A Call to Courage is a sweeping tale of resilience, sacrifice, and forbidden hope in the heart of war-torn London. Perfect for fans of Call the Midwife, The Nightingale, and The Wartime Midwives, this heartfelt historical drama marks the unforgettable beginning of Evelyn Harrington’s journey.
