The Girl in His Shadow by Audrey Blake
Over 3,900 5-Star Reviews!
An unforgettable historical novel about one woman who believed in scientific medicine—before the world believed in her.
London, 1845: Orphaned by a pandemic and raised by eccentric surgeon Dr. Horace Croft, Nora Beady spent her childhood perfecting sutures and sketching anatomical dissections—while other girls mastered needlework. Hidden from society, she serves as Dr. Croft’s secret assistant in a time when women practicing medicine face ruin.
Everything changes when the new surgical resident, Dr. Daniel Gibson, arrives. He assumes Nora is merely Croft’s quiet ward—but she may be the most gifted surgeon among them. To protect Croft’s reputation, Nora must adopt the uncomfortable charade of a proper young lady.
But pretense has its limits. When Nora makes a discovery that could transform medicine, she must choose: stay silent and let men take credit, or risk everything to claim her legacy.
