Astounding historical fiction based on a true story. Nova Scotia, 1871: Annetta Stewart boards a ship bound for the New Hebrides (now Vanuatu) in the South Pacific, unaware she is travelling to a life of loss and a trial of her own beliefs. Leaving everything and everyone she has ever known, Annetta is young, has her new husband by her side, and is going with love in her heart. But will it be enough? Soon, the dangers become real. Slavers in the islands bring consequences that shake the couple to their core. Annetta must decide if she is strong enough to stay. Will the light or dark win out in the hard truths she must face about her purpose in life? Based on actual events, The Missionary's Wife is a moving and powerful novel about sacrifice, love, acceptance, partnership, and the courage to live life despite the challenges we face. Claire McGregor paints the beauty of the islands as a character in itself, and asks, How far would you go for what you believe in?
Where I fall in love with the New Hebrides (Vanuatu), their people and the islands. Thank you to Claire McGregor for sharing your talent to write The Missionary's Wife.
