"Grand Canary" was first published in Good Housekeeping in the US in 1932 and then simultaneously in the US and UK in 1933, public domain in the United States. This is a novel of dramatic, high-stakes medical and romantic tension! A brilliant doctor in exile. A deadly tropical outbreak. A chance at redemption in a paradise turned perilous. Dr. Harvey Leith was a pioneer in his field, until a tragic medical failure destroyed his reputation and left his career in ruins. Bitter, disillusioned, and running from his past, he boards a ship bound for the sun-drenched Canary Islands, looking for nothing more than a place to nurse his grievances in isolation. But fate has other plans. Onboard, Harvey meets Susan Tranter, a beautiful, compassionate woman who sees past his cynical exterior. Just as an unexpected connection sparks between them, their ship arrives in Santa Cruz to find the island gripped by a brutal, devastating epidemic of yellow fever. As the local healthcare system collapses, Harvey is forced to face a choice: hide away in his despair, or step into the heart of the plague to save the people who despise him—and the woman he has come to love. Rich with atmospheric detail and psychological depth, Grand Canary is a gripping tale of love, moral courage, and the ultimate search for salvation from one of the 20th century's master storytellers.
