About This Book

A determined young nurse joins wartime medical service and confronts urgent surgical cases and the burdens of hospital work. She is dispatched to front-line and relief missions where she endures enemy threats, capture, daring escapes, and hazardous night operations. Personal relationships and romantic entanglements complicate her sense of duty while colleagues face moral doubt and sacrifice. The narrative moves from medical emergencies through perilous field episodes to a final transition from wartime turmoil to peace.
