The soldier saw her coming. And so did a sniper, hidden by the smoky haze that shrouded the field. He adjusted his sights, levelling his gun as the nurse stooped down beside the bloodied half-form of a man. She grabbed the drug, and shoved it under his tongue; his eyes shaking with fear. The sniper pulled his trigger.

The year is 1940, and war is sweeping across Europe. Edith, a young nurse, is serving in France and trying to survive the horrors of World War II. When a gravely injured soldier winds up in her care, a deep bond grows between the two as they find solace in their shared faith. But when the two are separated, Edith is left alone on the frontline, and her faith is tested like never before. With so much death and suffering around her, the chance of survival is slim. Will she become another victim of war? Or will she live to see her injured soldier again?

"Abigail has captured the horrors of war with the compassion, sacrifice and love that underlies all that suffering. You will enjoy this gripping story."
