Wedded by fate : or, Sister Angela by Mrs. Georgie Sheldon
"Wedded by Fate: or Sister Angela" by Mrs. Georgie Sheldon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on Salome Howland, a young woman of refinement who, despite tragic circumstances and her own mysterious past, seeks employment as a nurse at Boston's City Hospital. The book appears to explore themes of sacrifice, love, social class, and personal redemption, with Salome and Dr. Truman Winthrop emerging as the main
characters whose lives become unexpectedly intertwined. The opening of the novel introduces Salome Howland as a veiled, sorrowful young woman arriving at the hospital to answer an advertisement for nurses. Despite her delicacy and lack of references, she impresses the staff and excels in her work, quickly earning respect and affection. When Dr. Truman Winthrop, a visiting physician, is brought in near death from coal gas poisoning, Salome heroically donates her blood to save him, forging a deep, almost fateful connection. As Salome recovers from the ordeal, she and Dr. Winthrop form a strong emotional bond, leading to a whirlwind romance and a tender, secretive wedding. The narrative immerses readers in Salome's emotional struggles, her yearning for belonging, and the blossoming love between two lives united by chance and sacrifice.
