For Love and Empire
Madras, 1911.
Sarah Andrews has crossed an ocean to become one of the first women trained as a physician in British India. Determined, brilliant, and unwilling to bend to convention, she builds a clinic for women who have long gone unheard. But medicine is not her only battlefield.
As imperial tensions tighten and war shadows the horizon, Sarah is drawn into a web of power, betrayal, and buried violence within the colonial establishment itself. When the German cruiser Emden attacks the harbor and secrets begin to surface inside the hospital walls, Sarah must decide where her loyalty lies — to the Empire that resists her, or to the truth that could destroy it.
Caught between duty and desire, between love and conscience, For Love and Empire is a sweeping historical novel of courage, forbidden passion, and the cost of standing against injustice at the edge of a collapsing world.
SALLY BROWN
writer. humanitarian. dreamer.
Sally Brown is a historical fiction author drawn to stories of courage, conscience, and women who refuse to remain on the margins of history.
Raised on vivid family accounts of the British Raj in India, where her great-grandfather was born. Sally grew up listening to tales of empire, upheaval, and unlikely resilience. Those early stories shaped her imagination and planted the seeds for her debut novel, For Love and Empire, a sweeping work of historical fiction set against the turbulent backdrop of early 20th-century India and the Great War.
Before turning to fiction, Sally built a distinguished career in medicine. An occupational therapist and Certified Hand Therapist, she has spent over three decades in healthcare leadership, including serving as Director of Therapy at BoulderCentre for Orthopedics & Spine. Her clinical background informs the rich medical detail woven throughout her novels, bringing authenticity and depth to the physicians, nurses, and wounded soldiers who populate her stories.
Sally writes about strong women navigating love, ambition, and moral conflict in times of war. Her work explores what it means to choose duty, or defy it, and how personal conviction can alter the course of history.
She lives in Colorado, where she continues to practice, write, and research the untold stories of the past.
