500    "A novel"--Cover. 
520    August 1914. While Europe enters a brutal conflict unlike 
       any waged before, the Duncan household in Baltimore, 
       Maryland, is the setting for a different struggle. Ruth 
       and Elise Duncan long to escape the roles that society, 
       and their controlling father, demand they play. Together, 
       the sisters volunteer for the war effort, Ruth as a nurse,
       Elise as a driver. Stationed at a makeshift hospital in 
       Ypres, Belgium, Ruth soon confronts war's harshest lesson:
       not everyone can be saved. Rising above the appalling 
       conditions, she seizes an opportunity to realize her dream
       to practice medicine as a doctor. Elise, an accomplished 
       mechanic, finds purpose and an unexpected kinship within 
       the all-female Ambulance Corps. Through bombings, 
       heartache, and loss, Ruth and Elise cherish an 
       independence rarely granted to women, unaware that their 
       greatest challenges are still to come.
