Description: "In 1915, two spirited Australian sisters join the war effort as nurses, longing for new horizons. Nothing could have prepared them for the carnage they confront in the Old World, first in the Dardanelles, then on the Western Front. Yet they find courage in the face of extreme danger and become the friends they never were before. And eventually they meet the kind of men worth giving up their precious independence for--if only they survive"--Page 4 of cover.
