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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\"An adventurous woman ahead of her time…a fascinating historical novel.”\u003cb\u003e—Natasha Lester, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “A uniquely female perspective of World War I…a beautiful, touching, romantic women’s fiction novel that is sure to delight fans of \u003ci\u003eOutlander\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDownton Abbey\u003c\/i\u003e.”\u003cb\u003e—Lori Nelson Spielman, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\"Realistic and emotionally engaging, you’ll believe every word.\"\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eToronto Star\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An absorbing and immersive portrait of a woman whose courage, determination, and resolve would be exceptional in any age—but forged in the crucible of the Great War, tested again and again by a society riven by change, Dr. Eleanor Atherton is a heroine I will not soon forget....\"\u003cb\u003e—Jennifer Robson, \u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “A riveting tale of medicine, courage, and grace under fire during the Great War…Compulsively readable!\"\u003cb\u003e—Stephanie Marie Thornton, \u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\"Cornwall’s realistic depiction of the battlefield horrors is enhanced by her magnetic, multidimensional characters.
