From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Willig comes a dramatic coming-of-age story featuring a bold young woman navigating two very different wars across the Atlantic. In September 1896, Betsy Hayes, a Smith College graduate and aspiring archaeologist, travels to Athens to break into the male-dominated field of excavation. There, she finds an ally in Charles, Baron de Robecourt, who values her academic passion. However, when conflict between Greece and Turkey erupts into war, Betsy becomes a nurse, a decision that alters her life and strains her friendship with Ava. By June 1898, Betsy has sworn off war nursing, but when she learns that Ava is heading to Cuba with Clara Barton and the Red Cross during the Spanish-American War, she resolves to intervene by joining the effort. Facing extreme heat, disease, and personal demons, Betsy follows Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders into the fray, confronting her greatest fears to save both old friends and new. Set in a transformative era of nation-building and upheaval, this tale explores the challenges faced by two remarkable women striving to carve their paths in a man's world, weaving an unforgettable saga of friendship, love, and the fight for justice. A supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
