Charlie Lancaster leaves home knowing only that she wants to help. There's a war on across the ocean, and boys her age are fighting and dying for the cause. Why shouldn't she be playing her part in making sure their sacrifices aren't in vain? Assigned to the field hospital attached to a company of paratroopers, Charlie quickly gets swept up in the whirlwind of nursing in the European Theatre of War. She did well in training, but putting that training into practice is an entirely different ball game. Time and time again she will ask herself whether all of this was worth it, whether there really was much use in putting herself through all of this. Along the way she will find her answer, but perhaps not in the likeliest of ways.
