Gutsy sixteen-year-old parlormaid-turned-nurse Molly Fraser ministers to wounded soldiers in a Crimean hospital run by the no-nonsense Florence Nightingale. Despite arduous toil and abominable conditions, Molly finds herself falling in love with both a doctor and a soldier. Molly is a believable character in this engaging work of historical fiction that pays homage to Nightingale's groundbreaking accomplishments.
