In this memoir, Marjorie Penn describes her experiences as a nurse during World War 2, beginning as a novice at the Royal Free in London, them moving on to other hospitals, including her native Plymouth. Her matter-of-fact recall of the harrowing conditions of her patients, and her own near-death experiences in the blitz highlights the heroism of herself and all those on the "home front."
