Three courageous American girls trade comfort for the chaos of war in Aunt Jane's Nieces in the Red Cross, a stirring Red Cross adventure set amid battlefield hospitals, ambulance runs, and the moral wreckage of conflict. When Maud Stanton arrives at Willing Square determined to go to France as a trained nurse, Beth and Patsy insist on joining her, and the household soon resolves to convert the yacht Arabella into a hospital ship for a bold humanitarian mission. As Uncle John searches for a surgeon and recruits the brilliant, eccentric Doctor Gys, the girls confront the brutal realities of wartime medicine: wounded soldiers of every nationality, dying men eased only by morphine, and the exhausting labor of care near the front. Patsy is especially shaken by Andrew Denton, a badly wounded Belgian whose only comfort is his wife's letters from occupied Charleroi, and she becomes determined to reunite them before he dies. Meanwhile, Captain Carg's quiet conversation with a wounded German reveals him to be a cousin, Otto Elbl, a small but piercing reminder of war's absurd divisions. Crossing into enemy-held territory under Red Cross protection, the party faces searches, suspicion, and bureaucracy, but never loses sight of the novel's themes of bravery, sacrifice, compassion, and peace.
