The work documents the experiences and observations of the author during her service with the Y.M.C.A. in France following World War I. Through her letters, Katherine shares her impressions of war-torn Europe, the camaraderie among Y.M.C.A. workers, and her interactions with soldiers. The opening of this correspondence paints a vivid picture of Katherine's journey as she embarks on a voyage to France, reflecting on friendships formed among her fellow Y.M.C.A. girls and the emotional landscape of returning soldiers. Describing her experiences aboard the ship, she expresses a mixture of excitement and apprehension. The early letters capture her observations of life at sea during wartime, the generosity of spirit expressed through shared Christmas celebrations, and her interactions with soldiers and other characters amid the uncertainty of post-war Europe.
