Fowlds's story is told in the gripping new book Emma War by Deborah Scroggins. Through Fowlds's firsthand account, readers witness the horrors of war and the resilience of the human spirit.

Fowlds was born in Scotland and raised in Canada. She joined the Canadian military in 2008 and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2010. She served as a combat nurse in the Kandahar region, one of the most dangerous areas of the country.

During her time in Afghanistan, Fowlds witnessed firsthand the horrors of war. She saw soldiers killed and wounded, and she helped to care for the civilian victims of the conflict. She also experienced the challenges of working in a male-dominated environment.

Despite the challenges, Fowlds remained committed to her mission of helping others. She risked her own life to save the lives of others, and she provided comfort and support to the wounded and dying.

Fowlds's story is a testament to the courage and compassion of women in combat. It is also a reminder of the human cost of war.

Emma War is a powerful and moving book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. It is a must-read for anyone interested in military history, women's history, or the human experience of war.
