Nova Scotia, 1871. Leaving everything and everyone she has ever known, Annetta Stewart boards a ship bound for the exotic islands of Vanuatu in the South Pacific, unaware of the trials and dangers that lie ahead.

Annetta is young, has her new husband by her side, and is going with love in her heart. But will it be enough?

The dangers become real as 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 historical novel about sacrifice, love, acceptance, partnership, and the courage to live life despite the challenges we face.

Join Annetta on her journey and discover the beauty of the islands through her eyes, as she grapples with the ultimate question: how far would you go for what you believe in?
