Historical
Lady Elizabeth Neville-Ashford wants to
travel the world, pursue a career, and marry for love. But
in 1914, the
stifling restrictions of aristocratic British society and
her mother's
rigid expectations forbid Lily from following her heart.
When war breaks
out, the spirited young woman seizes her chance for
independence.
Defying her parents, she moves to London and eventually
becomes an
ambulance driver in the newly formed Women's Army Auxiliary
Corps--an
exciting and treacherous job that takes her close to the
Western Front. Assigned
to a field hospital in France, Lily is reunited with Robert
Fraser, her
dear brother Edward's best friend. The handsome Scottish
surgeon has
always encouraged Lily's dreams. She doesn't care that
Robbie grew up in
poverty--she yearns for their friendly affection to become
something
more. Lily is the most beautiful--and forbidden--woman
Robbie has ever
known. Fearful for her life, he's determined to keep her
safe, even if
it means breaking her heart. In a world divided by class,
filled with uncertainty and death, can their hope for love
survive. . . or will it become another casualty of this tragic war?
