When war erupted, she gave up a life of privilege for a life of significance.

Tending to the army's sick and wounded meant leading a life her mother does not understand and giving up a handsome and approved suitor.

Yet Charlotte chooses a life of service over privilege, just as her childhood friend had done when he became a military doctor.

She soon discovers that she's combatting more than just the rebellion by becoming a nurse.
