The fi rst part of the book contains a brief history of China and what brought on the revolution and the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is important to read it to understand what followed. Directly after the history, we begin the story of two girls who have just graduated from nursing colleges in Minnesota. For one girl it was a life long dream to work in China. Both were recruited by a Chinese Doctor who wanted nurses for a mission hospital in Chung King. This is the story of the adventures they have at the hospital in Chung King during the year 1938 to the summer of 1939 when the Japanese were making inroads in the north, gradually taking over many areas of China. As the Japanese grew stronger, there was all out war, with bombings becoming continuous. It is the story of understanding another culture, falling in love, getting married and fi nal decision to try and go home before their luck runs out, and the dangers they face in an effort to leave the country.
