Book 1, the war front story, Angel of Mercy, introduces us to Hettie, who wasn't exactly cut out to be an idle housewife. When her husband, Geoffrey, enlists shortly after their wedding, she decides to join him in Europe. Hettie finds purpose tending to wounded soldiers at a Casualty Clearing Station, where her work is valued, unlike back home in Ontario. But nothing can prepare her for the tragedies and tribulations that await. As letters from home pour in, begging her to return, Hettie must decide where she truly belongs.

The home front story, Those Left Behind, book 2, focuses on the families left behind after Hettie and Geoffrey's decision. Matriarchs Lucretia and Amelia struggle to keep the home fires burning amidst the turmoil of war. Through deaths, births, tragedies, and triumphs, the question remains: how do you maintain strong family bonds when the world is changing so rapidly?

Finally, in book 3, the homecoming story, Adjustment Year, Hettie returns home after five years, a newlywed and pregnant. Haunted by her experiences as an army nurse and the loss of her first husband, she finds little acceptance among her new in-laws. She barely knows her new husband, Alfred, who she married hastily after the war. Both Hettie and Alfred are fighting their own ghosts of the Great War. Will they realize how similar their demons are before it's too late?

Where Poppies Grow is a captivating saga of love, loss, and the resilient bonds of friends and family as the world shifts beneath their feet. Don't miss this chance to follow Hettie and her kin as they navigate a changing society, and discover if they can find healing amidst the scars of their scattered reality.
