The story follows four American girls—Eugenia, Mildred, Barbara, and Nona—who journey to France to support the Red Cross nursing efforts during World War I. Their diverse backgrounds and personalities shape their experiences as they care for wounded soldiers while navigating the challenges of war and the complexities of friendship. At the start of the novel, the four girls, already familiar with the harsh realities of wartime nursing at a hospital in northern France, face a new challenge as their hospital must relocate due to imminent danger from the German forces. They escape to a quieter town, where they continue their dedicated service with the Red Cross. The opening chapters set the stage for their adventures in Paris, highlighting the girls' different roles and personalities as they celebrate a recent victory of the French army, encounter unexpected dangers, and engage with the vibrant yet perilous world around them. The narrative captures their emotional growth and the camaraderie that develops amidst the backdrop of war. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 70.6 (7th grade).
