Incredibly real story set in WW1, Britain then France. Amazing depth of characters and story woven expertly with realities of war. Gwen is a chauffeur`s daughter. He raised her working on cars and driving. She was also best friends with the daughter of the house. This story is filled with interesting people with very little in common coming together in life and making things work. The girls were involved with the volunteer war efforts, but Gwenn wanted to do more, like drive an ambulance, and see more of the world. Chance meetings with a young soldier that her friend was crazy for and a Dowager Lady putting together an ambulance relief group, changed her life. She got her dream, but became deeply entrenched near enemy lines. Excellent with not one second of a dull moment. Many times that pull your heart strings and you feel the good, anguish and everything in between. Read this!

“You must have facts to navigate this life. Otherwise, you are lost with nothing solid to cling to.”
“But they give you nothing to soar toward. What is life without a dream to strive for?”
