Della from East Cove: Schoolmarm, accidental midwife, battlefield nurse, lover... A refreshing and uplifting story of a young woman defying the norms of her 1900s rural Nova Scotia birth, and becoming the heroine in her own adventurous life. "I loved this book. Della is a brave, inspiring, and risk-taking heroine, trading the safely of her rural Nova Scotian family for active war-time medical service." - Sue Kerr, author of Unlikely Stories of a Perfect Childhood "Mossman's attention to detail of matters medical during the First World War lends immediacy and authenticity to a compelling story set in a place and time with which we are no longer familiar." - Sara Williams, co-author of Growing Fruit In Northern Gardens
