But in 1914, the stifling restrictions of aristocratic British society and her mother's rigid expectations forbid Lilly 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."

This is the first novel written by Canadian author Jennifer Robson and I found it to be very well-written and engaging. The story pulled me in right away and I connected with the main character, Lilly, as she turned against her wealthy upbringing and the materialistic values her parents held, seeking out a means to truly give of herself to help others during World War I. A friendship/love story evolves however the true depth of the novel is the depiction of bravery and experiences the men and women faced working in the casualty clearing station hospitals close to the front lines in France.
