Eleanor's parents insist she must give up medicine, marry a respectable man, and assume her proper place. While women might serve as ambulance drivers or nurses at the front, they cannot be physicians--that work is too dangerous and frightening. Nevertheless, Eleanor is determined to make more of a contribution than sitting at home knitting for the troops. When an unexpected twist of fate sends Eleanor to the battlefields of France as the private doctor of a British peer, she seizes the opportunity for what it is--the chance to finally prove herself. But there's a war on, and a casualty clearing station close to the front lines is an unforgiving place. Facing skeptical commanders who question her skills, scores of wounded men needing care, underhanded efforts by her family to bring her back home, and a blossoming romance, Eleanor must decide if she's brave enough to break the rules, face her darkest fears, and take the chance to win the career--and the love--she's always wanted"-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Includes readers guide. 650 0 $a Women physicians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $z France $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) in women $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd. 655 7 $a Love stories. $2 gsafd. 650 $a Large type books. 941 $a 1 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20220422010140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A333A98C20111ECBB25AC7743ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
