Another winner by Gilbert Morris. The cover didn't give away much about the era or anything. It did show Mr. Bob, the delightful cat.
I was very happy to discover this story featured Florence Nightingale, with a cameo appearance by Charles Spurgeon. This was a beautiful tale of nurses and battle-weary soldiers during the Crimean War.
The leading lady was wonderful. She went from being an orphan to a lady's maid to a nurse, and I enjoyed the journey with her. It was she who had the fantastic Mr. Bob, and that critter was a pleasure to get to know as well.
There was this moment when Davis longed for a woman who wasn't his wife. What made this most interesting and respectable was that he put aside those carnal feelings to honor and respect the promise he had made when he married his wife. This was a good example of how to purposely choose to be loyal and honorable in one's marriage.
Another wonderful thing in this story was seeing true repentance from sinful choices.
