The story follows Nancy Dale, a young nurse who has just joined the Army Nurse Corps during World War II, as she embarks on an exciting and challenging journey into military service.

At the start of the novel, Nancy bids farewell to her parents as she boards a train headed for her new life in the Army Nurse Corps. Filled with excitement and trepidation, she reflects on her upcoming journey, wishing to be stationed in the South Pacific to reunite with her brother. However, the journey quickly turns perilous when Nancy becomes suspicious of two passengers speaking in German and eventually witnesses a train wreck. As she aids the injured, Nancy demonstrates her skills and resolve, leading to her first glimpse of the chaotic demands of wartime nursing and foreshadowing the trials that lie ahead.
