In the spirit of The Orphan Train and Before We Were Yours, a historical debut about a nurse who chooses to save a babys life, and risks her own in the process, exploring the ties of motherhood and the little-known history of Coney Island and Americas first incubators.A nurses choice. A daughters search for answers.New York City, 1926. Nurse Althea Andersons heart is near breaking when she witnesses another premature baby die at Bellevue Hospital. So when she reads an article detailing the amazing survival rates of babies treated in incubators in an exhibit at Luna Park, Coney Island, it feels like the miracle she has been searching for. But the doctors at Bellevue dismiss Althea and this unconventional medicine, forcing her to make a choice between a babys life and the doctors wishes that will change everything. Twenty-five years later, Stella Wright is falling apart. Her mother has just passed, she quit a job she loves, and her marriage is struggling. Then she discovers a letter that brings into question everything she knew about her mother, and everything she knows about herself. The Light of Luna Park is a tale of courage and an ode to the sacrificial love of mothers. Review Advance Praise for The Light of Luna Park “Moving…For fans of Kate Moore’s The Radium Girls and Emma Donoghue’s The Pull of the Stars… Armstrong highlights the novelty, frustration, and strength of rebellious action behind a medical marvel we take for granted today.” -Library Journal “Is there anything better than falling into a novel that asks an ethical question and then answers it with a big story that arrows straight into the questions heart? No, I would say: Nothing better. What would you do to save a child? Addison Armstrong asks in this assured debut that ushers us deep into a fascinating moment in history where obstetrics and womens choices and the shadow line between circus and science combine. The Light of Luna Park got me, took me, taught me, and in the end, shook me.”-Sarah Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Guest Book A dual timeline, a fascinating historical setting, a baby, a nurse and above all, courage. This is my kind of story! Thank you, Addison Armstrong, for writing such an intriguing and heartfelt novel.” -Diane Chamberlain, New York Times bestselling author of Big Lies in a Small Town“A romantic yet historically evocative depiction of two pioneering women’s intertwined lives.” -Kirkus “Armstrong’s impressive debut chronicles the parallel stories of two strong women who are unafraid to risk their careers to do what’s right....Emotionally powerful. Readers will be touched by this story of courage and love.” -Publishers Weekly“Armstrong mines a fascinating bit of history… A novel guaranteed to tug at heartstrings while illuminating a daring medical innovation that has saved millions of lives.” -Booklist“Armstrong’s dual-timeline debut packs a powerful emotional punch…The emotional investment in the two protagonists will keep readers eagerly turning pages. Recommended for all readers, but especially for those who love someone who doesn’t meet society’s definition of ‘worthy.’” -Historical Novel Review“Armstrong has a strong subject here and wonderful characters whom every reader will admire and care for...Bravo to Addison Armstrong for such a beautiful and heartfelt paean to those in the medical world who used their talents and abilities to change the lives of people for good.” -Bookreporter“At once a fascinating slice of history and a compelling story filled with relatable characters. Addison Armstrong has woven a beautiful tale around the sacrifices and hard choices made for love, and highlights the work of the extraordinary individuals who stood up against the widespread, harsh beliefs of the time.
