Elsie McMillian Young has added verisimilitude and excitement to this imaginative story of two nurses by drawing from her own experience as a nurse, and from her memories of World War II. At thirteen, Laura enters service as a kitchen maid in Millfield Hall. The Mistress is soon enamored of her, promotes her to ladies’ maid and gives her a magnificent brooch as a token of her affection. When Laura trains as a nurse after the outbreak of the Great War she is raped by a shell-shocked officer. This sets in motion a sequence of events that lead her to harbour a terrible secret by the time World War II breaks out.
