Winds of Change, Book 2: Shadows of War
London, 1918. The war is ending, but the battle for compassion has just begun.
Dr. Margaret Ashworth has returned from the battlefields of France determined to bring humane medical care to London's shell-shocked soldiers. But at the London Hospital, she faces a new Dr. James Morrison, whose brutal "treatments" are destroying the very men she's sworn to heal.
When Margaret's spirited sister Beatrice volunteers at the hospital, she becomes an unwitting pawn in Morrison's manipulative game. As he works to discredit Margaret through forged documents and psychological warfare, the sisters find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict that threatens to tear their family apart.
With the Spanish flu ravaging London and traumatized soldiers suffering under Morrison's cruel methods, Margaret must choose between her career and her conscience. But when Morrison's "discipline" drives a desperate patient to violence, both sisters will face the ultimate test of courage.
Set against the backdrop of war's end and a city struggling to heal, Winds of Change is a gripping tale of sisterhood, sacrifice, and the fight for dignity in medicine. As Margaret battles for her patients' humanity and Beatrice discovers her own strength, they'll learn that sometimes the greatest victories come not on battlefields, but in hospital wards where compassion battles cruelty.
A powerful blend of medical drama, historical detail, and family saga that brings World War I London vividly to life.

Written all in the first person by two sisters it somehow makes the events so much more personal and believable. The treatment of soldiers for shell shock by Dr Morrison is beyond belief and seems almost inhuman. The influenza ward with all those suffering from the Spanish flu is also quite fearful. Dr Margaret & her sister Bea are just a couple of the wonderful caring staff at the hospital who really care for the patients.

Intricate family drama
I enjoyed continuing the story of the family. The build of tension in the ward was well written and kept me turning pages. The characters are likeable .
