Paris. 1918.

Staring into the muzzle of a French policeman’s pistol . . .

Journalist Alice Simmons’s last chance to stay alive is a nursing degree she never intended to use. A lowly job in a Red Cross hospital becomes the scoop of her career—and the key to her heart.

Alice’s ambition to be a Great War correspondent careens headlong into a wall of sexism and deceit. The officer in charge of the American Army press office refuses to authorize Alice to leave Paris unless she agrees to certain favors. One evening, his lust escalates to a drunken assault. The unsuccessful attacker begins a campaign of false allegations to explain his injuries and cover up his crime. These culminate when he accuses her of being a German spy.

A nursing assistant job in an American Red Cross military hospital is Alice’s only hope. She confronts chaos and heartbreak as American casualties from the Battle of Belleau Wood flood her ward. A tragic death amid the human wreckage of war unlocks Alice’s compassion and her capacity to love, both long-buried after a childhood tragedy. Her patients’ courage and support from unexpected allies inspire Alice’s fight to restore her honor.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

John F. Andrews began writing fiction in 2012. The spark that ignited the flame was a true story strange enough to be fiction set in the 1930s. You can read about it when his Beware series is published. This launched his Twentieth Century historical fiction writing career. His Novels of the Great War leverage his fascination with history along with his knowledge and experience as a physician and a US Marine Corps father.

Andrews grew up in the Midwest with an early love for the Montana mountains. After earning a BA in psychology at the University of Minnesota-Morris, he completed his MD degree at the University of Minnesota Medical School. He trained in internal medicine at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI, and then completed a pulmonary medicine fellowship at the University of Chicago. He had a wonderful practice in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine in Green Bay, WI, before "retiring". He and his wife, Sue, moved to Manhattan, Montana, out of their love of Montana. In 2024 they moved to Arvada, Colorado, to be close to their family.

I read the book because I knew Dr. Andrews when working a nurse in Green Bay and he treated my mom. I love to read and this book was great!! It's the kind that you can't put down and I was oblivious to everything else when I was reading. Keep on writing, Dr. Andrews!!

I thought the story started a bit slow, but, moving on I didn't want to put it down. The next chapter is only 9 minutes, so I will just read one more............and so on, until late in the night. I'm trying to find more books by this author, but find none listed on Amazon. I was wondering where the accurate medical knowledge came from, in the story. At the end, I find the writer is a Physician. I appreciate that, because as a medical provider myself, I hate inaccurate medical information. Read this book. You'll like it. And, no, I'm not his mother, wife, child or relative of any kind. Don't know the man.

Yep! Bawled my eyes out. I really liked this book. Alice was wonderful. She was compasionate, strong and could kick a little ass. I liked that last part a lot!! I love that she was a sort of proxy daughter, sister and friend to the men in the ward. The spyish "you have friends" part was a little off for me, but other than that I really enjoyed the book and will recommend it to my reading friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, elegant novel of a WWI nurse
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2023

Set in France during World War I, this is an enthralling story of a young nurse’s quest to be a war reporter when women weren’t welcome at the front. The author—who’s a doctor with a son in the U.S. Marines—brings realism to both hospital and battle scenes. The main character Alice Simmons is engaging, stubborn, and ambitious, but we love her because her actions are tempered with a nurse’s sensibility and a young woman’s vulnerability. She’s beset with adversaries, but also allies, all of whom are fascinating characters in their own right. I thoroughly enjoyed every page! I’m looking forward to the promised sequels.

I found the story of this female journalist and
nurse stationed at a hospital in Paris compelling—I read and finished it during a very busy holiday weekend! It provides a glimpse into both medical care of the time and the Battle of Belleau Wood while at the same time weaving fascinating a tale of suspense and intrigue involving the main characters. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
