The pampered daughter of a wealthy man, Alice, appears to have everything-beauty, wealth, and background. She is pursued by several men, but marriage is not enough to satisfy Alice’s longing for a sense of purpose in her life. She looks for this in nursing, but living in an all-female environment has its drawbacks. Then comes the Boer War, and her life is changed forever when she volunteers her services as a military nurse.This is a romantic story set in part during a war which is largely unknown today. Famous figures like Winston Churchill and Lord Baden-Powell play their part on the stage of history in this drama where Boer and British soldiers meet on the battlefield under the scorching heat of a South African sun.
