Rose’s Assignment
About
Her courage will light the way — one act of compassion at a time.
1859, Canada West. Rose Goodwin is a devoted wife, mother and volunteer for the Simcoe County Vigilance Committee. When she’s asked to care for a gravely ill woman who has escaped slavery through the Underground Railroad, Rose’s comfortable world is upended.
Tending to Judith, a refugee haunted by unimaginable trauma, forces Rose to confront her own prejudices and fears. As the women form a fragile bond, Rose learns that true freedom requires not only courage but conscience.
Rich with historical authenticity and emotional depth, Rose’s Assignment explores the complex realities of life in pre-Confederation Canada, where compassion and conviction could change lives and where one woman’s choices would echo for generations to come.
A standalone prequel to the Echoes of the Great War Trilogy, Melina Druga’s novella will captivate fans of Jennifer Chiaverini, Susanna Kearsley and Kate Quinn who love stories of brave women, moral strength, and hope against all odds.

Praise for this book
This author really knows how to make history come alive! I felt like I’d been carried back to in time, put in a position to help someone, then left to figure it out with very little guidance.
