Red Cross Girls on the French Firing Line

War has a way of tearing down the walls we build around ourselves. For Eugenia Warrington, a proper Bostonian raised on manners and restraint, the blood-soaked fields of France prove as transformative as they are terrifying. Serving alongside three fellow American nurses with the Red Cross, she finds herself far from the sheltered world of tea parties and debutante balls, tending to the wounded in field hospitals where death asks no questions about social standing. Then comes Jean-Marc, a handsome French officer whose quiet courage and wounded heart see past her practiced composure to the brave woman beneath. Theirs is a love born of chaos, between the shelling and the healing, between old-world courtesy and new-world necessity. But war offers no guarantees of happily-ever-afters, only the fierce, fleeting possibility of connection before everything changes again. This is the story of four women who left comfortable American lives to risk everything in a foreign land, and what they discovered about themselves in the process.
