In the spring of 1917, Walter “Pat” Lusk sits at his desk shuffling papers and dreaming of glory on the battlefield. Frustrated, he’s convinced the Great War will remain forever out of reach until one day his friend Aubrey arrives with the thrilling news that the United States has finally declared war on Germany! With his path to adventure now clear, Pat immediately enlists in the Army, where he trains as a surgeon’s assistant. Sent to France with Evacuation Hospital No. 4, will Pat finally attain the glory he seeks treating desperately wounded soldiers through the war’s darkest days? Will he ever win over the redoubtable Nurse Oberholtzer? Will the Armistice bring peace to the boys of Evac 4, or does a time of even greater testing await Pat and his friends? Now with ten thought-provoking questions from the author designed to help you or your book club get to the heart of this coming of age novella.

"I gave this book five-stars only because it wouldn't let me give six."
