After a bumpy start, Iris manages to befriend outspoken Mary and dreamer Sally as they are sent to their first posting - in Orkney. There she meets engineer Rob, whose flirtatious nature both charms and confounds straight-laced Iris.

Story
As snow begins to fall, and word reaches their town that the Red Army are approaching, German-born mother-of-two Emma knows she has no choice: She must pack their meagre belongings and leave their home, in search of safety. Even if safety is within Nazi Germany. But as the icy grip of winter tightens around them, her four-year-old son—her blue-eyed angel—Jacob becomes ill. Desperate for him to get well enough to continue their journey, she takes him to a hospital, where she hands him to a kind nurse. Then a terrible attack separates mother and son, and their lives change forever.
Publisher's Summary
Inspired by the true story of the World War I American Women’s Hospital, Mercy Road is a novel about love, courage, and a female ambulance driver who risks everything.
In 1917, after Arlene Favier’s home burns to the ground, taking her father with it, she must find a way to support her mother and younger brother. If she doesn’t succeed, they will all be impoverished. Job opportunities are scarce, but then a daring possibility arises: the American Women’s Hospital needs ambulance drivers to join a trailblazing, all-female team of doctors and nurses bound for war-torn France.
On the front lines, Arlene and her fellow ambulance drivers work day and night to aid injured soldiers and civilians. In between dangerous ambulance runs, Arlene reunites with a childhood friend, Jimmy Tucker, now a soldier, who opens her heart like no one before. But she has also caught the attention of Felix Brohammer, a charismatic army captain who harbors a dark, treacherous secret.
To expose Brohammer means risking her family’s future and the promise of love. Arlene must make a choice: stay in the safety of silence or take the greatest chance of her life.

Boring and depressing
The author tried to throw in every topic she could come up with in an attempt to make this story interesting. War. Romance. Male stalker. Homosexuality. Family home burning to the ground, father dying. Death death and more death. It only served to make the story feel disconnected and choppy. With a very depressing ending. Overall just a depressing story that I wish I would have skipped.

Where Did the Title Come From?
The story is much like the Title, you sort of say, well I sort of see how it fits....
The writing is not bad, but the story is a mixed salad, not a blend. First it is the story about the horse farm, then it is a story about ambulance driving. The stories are just tossed together.
The transitions whether big or small (farm to war) or small are just not well handled. For example, the main character are having their first love scene and something reminds her of the bad guy and she is suddenly talking about him, and live scene dropped. A good editor could have helped with that.
I won’t say this is not worth your time, if you like to read. But if you have to make time to read, there are better. I mike try this author again. With a little work and a good editor, she has potential.

Not very good
This could have been an interesting story about female ambulance drivers during WWI, but it's just a really lame romantic story with cardboard characters and a totally predictable plot. This author has written several books that I enjoyed, but I'm not sure I would read another after this WOT ( waste of time).
