About this ebook
Doctor BETTY GRIMES, miraculously survives the Nazi bombing of her hospital but suffers the loss of her fiancé in the raid. She goes to the countryside to grieve and recuperate and there meets the leader of the Virtues team who recruits the brilliant surgeon.
After months of training, Betty, code-named MERCY, now works in Occupied France as a nurse, where she garners information from patients and passes it to the Allies. Secretly, she tends to injured Resistance operatives, treating gunshots and other wounds that would otherwise draw the attention of the Third Reich.
When Betty is sent to the local prison to see to a prisoner who has taken ill, her shock at finding TEMPERANCE nearly blows her cover. Now Temperance is sick and Mercy needs to get her well enough for the coming rescue operation to succeed.
Can MERCY save TEMPERANCE in time for her rescue, or will her patient succumb to the disease brought on by the torture of the Gestapo?
MISSION OF MERCY is part six of eight serialized novellas entitled the Virtues and Valor series.
Seven valorous women — different nationalities, ethnicities, and social backgrounds — come together as a team called the Virtues.
In 1941 Great Britain a special war department assembles an experimental and exclusively female cohort of combat operatives. Four willing spies, a wireless radio operator, an ingenious code breaker, and a fearless pilot are each hand-picked, recruited, and trained to initiate a daring mission in Occupied France. As plans are laid to engineer the largest prison break of Allied POWs in history, the Nazis capture the Virtues' radio operator. It will take the cohesive teamwork of the rest of the women to save her life before Berlin breaks her and brings the force of the Third Reich to bear.
Some find love, some find vengeance, and some discover the kind of strength that lives in the human heart when all they can do is rely on each other and their shared belief. Courage, faith, and valor intersect but, in the end, one pays the ultimate price.
Continuing the Virtues and Valor series by Hallee Bridgeman. Eight serialized novellas, each inspired by real people and actual events, reveal the incredible story of amazing heroines facing the ultimate test of bravery.

Reviews for Mission of Mercy
4 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I liked the idea of women using their skills to help during wartime. Some of the women in this series even are near the fighting. This particular novella has a doctor who agrees to train as a nurse so that she has a legitimate cover to be in an area where the resistance might need her doctoring skills for their members.
I have to admit that I didn't think of many of the areas that the discussion questions at the end touched on while I was reading it. The discussion questions bring up ideas such as: are there times it is all right to allow the appearance of evil to continue?, are there times when deception is all right as long as there is a greater cause at stake?, are sincere rote prayers heard by God? - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5NO Mercy with Cliff-Hangers...Mercy is a doctor who is heartbroken when German bombings kill her doctor-fiancé. She joins the Resistance Movement as a nurse, working on German officers and French public by day, spirited away to doctor Allied troops by night.Her biggest challenge is finding her teammate, Temperance, very near death. Mercy must attempt to doctor Temperance secretly and adequately through a third party, whose loyalties are divided.Again, I love the story, but the actual history lesson at the end is invaluable. Discussion questions will leave you pondering. Warning:Hallee Bridgeman shows no mercy with her end of episode cliff-hangers, so be smart and buy the whole series at once!!I received this book, Mission of Mercy,part 6 of the Virtues and Valor series,from the author in exchange for an honest review.
