Greater than a quarter of his face blasted off from shrapnel fire, Corporal Aidan Fellowes, needed a miracle...Captain Stan Plantar lost more than most of his left arm; his marriage, life and identity lay in ruins...his glimmer of hope rest in the young corporal...until they all met the Mimosa Factor... During the summer of 1917, waves of catastrophically wounded soldiers arrive at Bexhill Court Convalescent Hospital in Bexhill-on-Sea England. Through a series of life-altering prescriptions of medical and emotional care, combined with radical methods of treatment, enables some of the soldiers to leave the hospital in stark contrast to how they arrived. Staff and soldiers alike tormented by their inner and outer battles, are desperate for reprieve. Corporal Aidan Fellowes, of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces is dying from the inside out. Suffering from a catastrophic injury consisting of a quarter of his face blown off from shrapnel wounds, he cannot accept his fate. Yearning for any semblance of beauty, the young soldier denies himself nourishment as he wades deeper into his quagmire of despair. Will the efforts of medical staff be enough to rescue Corporal Fellowes before he deserts from the war? Painfully aware that the penalty for desertion is execution by firing squad, Corporal Fellowes weighs his options while fate intervenes.
