Advance Praise
Kate Tompkins, Former CEO of the Cavell Nurses Trust and the Royal College of Nursing, London, England. “Terri Arthur’s remarkable novel weaves together the historical facts that we know about the quiet heroism and determination of Edith Cavell with a compelling and knowledgeable story.”
Robert Tunmore, MA, RMN, RGN, Nursing Officer, Dept. of Health, England and a great nephew of one of the first soldiers rescued by Nurse Cavell. “This book reveals a story that needs to be told—the gripping tale of Edith Cavell’s courage, conviction, and love of humanity.”
Clare Lomas, Editor, Royal College of Nursing’s magazine The Nursing Standard. “Arthur’s novel is easy to read and suitable for academic interpretation or a heartwarming holiday read, Fatal Destiny is both exciting and sensitive to nursing history.”
Lynn Baines, Australian Book Critic of “I Prefer Reading” “Fatal Decision is an absorbing novel. The large cast of characters, from the other nurses & staff at the clinic to the escaping soldiers to the German authorities, are all beautifully portrayed.”
Lucia Hwang, editor of The National Nurse United magazine The National Nurse which serves over 157,000 American nurses. “Arthur does a remarkable job of making Cavell and her world come alive.”
R.J. McCormick-Boyle, Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy. Acting Director, Navy Nurse Corps, Arlington, VA. “It’s a wonderful story that needed to be told from a nurse’s perspective: highlighting the passion and understanding that only we can instill.”
Narendra Goidami, Director of Life School, India. “ There are some stories that arouse a trifle interest and there are some stories that blow our minds away. The way Terri Arthur has presented the story of Edith Cavell blew my mind away. Something inside me changed forever. I was so inspired.”
