A girl in his shadow

An inspiring novel about a woman who believed in medicine before the world did... and about a courage that pierced through the darkness of tradition, to write her own history with her own hands.

Nora loses her family to a deadly pandemic and is taken in by the eccentric doctor Horace Croft, who sees something in the orphaned girl that others do not.
While other girls grow up with embroidery and painting, Nora grows up in a completely different world; a world of anatomy, suturing wounds, and secret medicine.

In a time when treating women was considered a crime, Nora becomes Croft's hidden assistant... until the new surgeon, Dr. Daniel Gibson, appears, thinking he is the most knowledgeable, unaware that the quiet young woman before him is far more skilled than he is.

As danger escalates, threatening Croft's reputation and the collapse of his clinic, Nora is forced to don a new mask:
a lady of high society... not a rebellious surgeon.

But the boundaries narrow, and the hearts of people and the cries of the sick cannot be ignored.
And when Nora makes a revolutionary medical discovery capable of changing the entire future of medicine, she finds herself facing the toughest test:

Will she remain in the shadows and let men steal her glory?
Or will she step into the light and face a world that only recognizes male authority?

"The Girl in His Shadow" is a novel for anyone who dares to dream... even if the whole world stands against them.
