Publisher's Synopsis
From fighting for the right to vote to nursing conscripted young men, Roses life changes forever when World War I arrives in the peaceful English village of Harefield. With an influx of wounded Australian soldiers, the villagers rally around to provide care and comfort, despite suffering their own casualties and grieving for their own losses. Training to nurse Australian soldiers like Jim the Light Horse boy is hard work, but with it comes much for Rose to treasure -- in the gaining of a vocation, in confidence won and in finding new love in a new land.
