The Great War is raging in France and for girls like Florence and Dorothy it's a liberating time . . . but also a dangerous one. As Dorothy risks her life working in the local munitions factory, Florence dreams of becoming a nurse - but when her wish comes true and she heads off to France to nurse the soldiers, she realizes that her dream is actually a living nightmare. But Florence is determined to help as many soldiers as she can, no matter what side they're on, and if she can't, she'll die trying . . . This outstanding story is full of raw emotion and a real sense of the enormous hardship faced by men and women during the First World War.
