Wedded to War: A Novel by Jocelyn Green
When war erupted, she
gave up a life of privilege for a life of significance.
Tending to the army's sick and wounded meant leading a life
her mother does not understand and giving up a handsome and approved suitor. Yet
Charlotte
chooses a life of service over privilege, just as her childhood friend had done
when he became a military doctor. She soon discovers that she's combatting more
than just the rebellion by becoming a nurse. Will the two men who love her
simply stand by and watch as she fights her own battles? Or will their desire
for her wage war on her desire to serve God?
Wedded to War is a
work of fiction, but the story is inspired by the true life of Civil War nurse
Georgeanna Woolsey. Woolsey's letters and journals, written over 150 years ago,
offer a thorough look of what pioneering nurses endured. This is the first in
the series "Heroines Behind the Lines: Civil War," a collection of
novels that highlights the crucial contributions made by women during times of
war.

“A haunting Civil War epic, Wedded
to War is a rich historical tapestry interwoven with a gentle love story
that will steal both your heart and your sleep. Mark my words, Jocelyn Green is
an author to watch — and read — over and over again.”

“Fascinating, dramatic, and
romantic. Wedded to War by Jocelyn
Green sheds light on the harrowing world of Civil War nursing through the eyes
of a delightful heroine. Detailed research and a powerful message about mercy
make this story a keeper.”
~Sarah Sundin, award-winning author of the Wings of Glory series

“Jocelyn Green lends her considerable talent to
a tale both historically interesting and emotionally absorbing. Her Heroines
Behind the Lines series is sure to draw readers eager for accurate stories
of the Civil War, but also grab readers yearning for well-drawn characters who
battle forces bigger than themselves in a quest for acceptance, grace, and
love. Wedded to War does a fine job with both.”
~Ann Byle, author of The Making of a Christian Bestseller

“Although fictional, Wedded to War brings to life the
important, and often dismissed, story of women’s entrance into Civil War
nursing – and, in particular, the virulent opposition they faced from military
doctors. It reminds us all that the access to employment and political
rights that American women take for granted were achieved on deeply-contested
ground, and that women showed both ambition and courage in opposing those who
wished to defend their own turf.”
