The Novels of the Great War series transports readers into events in a war that shaped the world. They’ll meet heroes, unsung or forgotten, and victims of World War One.

Paris. 1918.

Staring into the muzzle of a French policeman’s pistol . . .

Journalist Alice Simmons’s last chance to stay alive is a nursing degree she never intended to use. A lowly job in a Red Cross hospital becomes the scoop of her career—and the key to her heart.

Alice’s ambition to be a Great War correspondent careens headlong into a wall of sexism and deceit. The officer in charge of the American Army press office refuses to authorize Alice to leave Paris unless she agrees to
certain favors. One evening, his lust escalates to a drunken assault. The unsuccessful attacker begins a campaign of false allegations to explain his injuries and cover up his crime. These culminate when he accuses her of being a German spy.

A nursing assistant job in an American Red Cross military hospital is Alice’s only hope. She confronts chaos and heartbreak as American casualties from the Battle of Belleau Wood flood her ward. A tragic death amid the human wreckage of war unlocks Alice’s compassion and her capacity to love, both long-buried after a childhood tragedy. Her patients’ courage and support from unexpected allies inspire Alice’s fight to restore her honor.

June 1918.
The tidal wave of WWI engulfs the rural French village of Bouresches, forcing two teens to embark on a harrowing journey to an uncertain future and a destination known only to their border collie, Abby.

Abby is the Durand family dog. Her job is to be a companion for fifteen-year-old Marcel and his thirteen-year-old sister, Geneviève. She considers it herding. Marcel is plagued by doubts about his courage as he approaches military age. His sister has severe pneumonia. As their neighbors flee, the doctor warns their mother that the rigors of evacuation will kill Geneviève.

A disastrous escape leaves them orphaned and alone.

Marcel and Geneviève must find a distant relative, Cousin Henri, who lives near Paris. However, they have never met him, are not sure of his last name, and don’t know his address. Abby is the key—Henri is her former owner, though she begs to differ on the “owner” concept. If anyone can find him, she can. The teens confront their worst fears while seeking refuge amid the chaos of war, armed only with their faith in Abby.

More About the Author
Biography

John F. Andrews began writing fiction in 2012. The spark that ignited the flame was a true story strange enough to be fiction set in the 1930s. You can read about it when his Beware series is published. This launched his Twentieth Century historical fiction writing career. His Novels of the Great War leverage his fascination with history along with his knowledge and experience as a physician and a US Marine Corps father.

Andrews grew up in the Midwest with an early love for the Montana mountains. After earning a BA in psychology at the University of Minnesota-Morris, he completed his MD degree at the University of Minnesota Medical School. He trained in internal medicine at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI, and then completed a pulmonary medicine fellowship at the University of Chicago. He had a wonderful practice in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine in Green Bay, WI, before "retiring". He and his wife, Sue, moved to Manhattan, Montana, out of their love of Montana. In 2024 they moved to Arvada, Colorado, to be close to their family.
