Nova Scotia, 1871: Annetta Stewart boards a ship bound for the New Hebrides (now Vanuatu) in the South Pacific, unaware she is travelling to a life of loss and a trial of her own beliefs.

Leaving everything and everyone she has ever known, Annetta is young, has her new husband by her side, and is going with love in her heart. But will it be enough?

Soon, the dangers become real. The actions of slavers in the islands bring consequences that shake the couple to their core. Annetta must decide if she is strong enough to stay. Will the light or dark win out in the hard truths she must face about her faith and purpose in life?

Based on actual events, The Missionary's Wife is a moving and powerful novel about sacrifice, love, acceptance, partnership, and the courage to live life despite the challenges we face.

Claire McGregor shows the beauty of the islands as a character in itself, and asks, How far would you go for what you believe in?

Praise for this book

Annetta's story is one which takes you on a deep dive into the battles between one's faith and one's reality. We are taken on an emotional, educational and at times traumatic journey, where the strength of character of our heroine shines despite all she suffers. ARC reviewer.

Before reading this book, I would not have considered myself as having anything in common with late 19th century missionaries, however the author combines historical records with her own insights, creating a world we can't help but find parts of ourselves in. ARC reviewer.

An author takes you on a journey to a world and part of history that may never have been visited... ARC reviewer.

This story is based on true events and journals from missionaries and is furnished by a good plot and strong narrative... An informative and provocative read. ARC reviewer.

I was gripped from the start! Such beautiful images the author created. ARC reviewer.

The author has done an amazing job depicting the life of missionaries on Erakor. ARC reviewer.

This was very, very well written. Very moving and emotional... I loved it and could see this being an excellent movie. ARC reviewer.
