A Young Woman Risks Everything to Serve as a WWI Doctor in Lecia Cornwall's New Novel

The Woman at the Front

Lecia Cornwall is the acclaimed Canadian author of 15 historical romance novels. Her newest story is a WWI-set historical fiction about a female doctor who sets out to break society’s expectations and to save lives on the battlefield at a time when women rarely held roles outside the home. It’s called The Woman at the Front  and it was inspired by Lecia’s own family history during WWI.
