Description
This novel describes the short life of Agnes Arnold, a young Christian woman who, having been spurned by the man she loved, decides to travel to Shreveport, Louisiana in 1873, during the height of the city's yellow fever epidemic, in order to nurse and minister to the sick and dying. Despite having no formal training in nursing, Agnes proceeds to save lives left and right, using a simple remedy that she learned years earlier in New Orleans, along with her own abiding faith. All are amazed by her healing powers, and she is given the name "Angel Agnes" by the city's grateful residents. Her beloved travels to claim her, before he is stricken by the illness. Although grief stricken, Agnes continues to work tirelessly to save lives, before she meets her tragic end.
