Description: "Rose Warrington could not be happier surrounded by her family and friends on her sixtieth birthday. But on the same day, Archduke Ferdinand is assassinated in far-away Sarajevo, leading to the outbreak of The Great War. Rose's spirited younger daughter, Marianne - having taken a vow of chastity some years earlier - sees the war as an opportunity to prove herself as capable as any man. She joins the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry as an ambulance driver in war-torn France and it takes all her strength to face its horrors: there are tragedies lying in wait for those she loves, and her girlhood vow will be challenged and tested."--Publisher description.
