A group of young American women volunteer with the Red Cross and serve alongside U.S. forces in wartime France; the narrative follows their preparations, field nursing, friendships and conflicts, encounters with soldiers and civilians, and the personal sacrifices and quiet acts of courage that mark their service. Episodes emphasize small domestic details, inventive problems such as communications and logistics, moments of loneliness and moral testing, and evolving bonds that bring deeper understanding of duty, compassion, and love amid the challenges of military hospitals and wartime life.
