Only One Remedy is a Short Read - approximately 2 hours or more - in The Yankee Years series.
During wartime strangers are thrown together and, even in the midst of the conflict, friendships are forged and romances blossom, but their paths may not be straight or easy.
January 1943: Lieutenant Marjorie Baxter is finally settling into the 160th Station Hospital, at Necarne Castle, Irvinestown, Northern Ireland. Since her recovery from a bout of pneumonia during the Christmas season, the U.S. Army nurse is more approachable, and even friendly, especially toward the local village minister. But, the arrival of her nursing colleague and former friend, Lieutenant Dot Nichols, awakens old hurts and anxieties.
Reverend Herbert Lindsay, the widowed rector of a nearby village church and a keen herbalist, is continuing to rebuild his life after his beloved wife's unexpected death two years ago. He is ready to steer his relationship with Marjorie from friendship to romance, but encounters with Allied servicemen stationed in his community make him question whether he has anything to offer her.
When a Sunderland flying-boat is forced to land in foggy weather near the rectory then bursts into flames, the pair work together to assist in the evacuation of injured crew members. Afterwards in the chaotic Receiving wing at the military hospital, Herbert's concern for an overwhelmed staff member arouses Marjorie's jealousy and threatens to drive a wedge between them.
In the aftermath of the flying-boat accident, can Marjorie and Herbert find a remedy that will salve their doubts and fears, and save their budding romance?
A tale for fans of Maggie Hope, Daisy Styles and Ellie Dean.
