Every Given Day

As illness threatens the child she loves, one woman holds on to the hope of a medical breakthrough.

New York City, 1918. When schoolteacher Gwendolyn Armstrong learns of her sister’s worsening illness, she travels to Marion’s stately home to tutor her young niece and nephew, kept from school by the Spanish flu outbreak. Though the family lives in luxury, Gwen is wary of Marion’s sophisticated, often-absent husband, Russell, who once cast Gwen aside for her sister.

As Marion’s health declines, Gwen observes strangers coming and going from Russell’s study at all hours. Her lingering distrust turns to suspicion that he is hiding something that could threaten the family’s safety.

The deadly flu brings terrible losses, followed by her nephew Alistair’s diagnosis of juvenile diabetes. A compassionate doctor pursues every promising medical development in the race for a cure. As Russell’s clandestine dealings erupt into a shattering revelation, Gwen must summon her courage and plead for a faith she doesn’t yet possess.
