Home. It is an elegant word, at once both simple and far-reaching. Home is a place to live in and feel comfortable, but it is much more than that. Home is where we are nurtured, where we live, and where we love. The language of home is universal. It is where we find the eternal in the everyday. But the home has been neglected. To millions of women today, there is nothing worse than being a “homemaker”. If only they knew the supreme value (and reward) of giving loved ones a place to call home.

Beyond All Priceis a historical novel, based on the real life story of Nellie M. Chase, a Union nurse during America's Civil War. History books have recorded only a few lines about her experiences as a Civil War nurse. She left no personal letters and no formal records, but those whose lives she touched remembered her as an angel of mercy. Her story, told here by a trained historian, is factual whenever events can be documented. Fictional descriptions, conversations, and transitions strive to reflect the true nature of the time in which she lived and struggled.
