A Wonderful Novel Based on a True Story of Women Serving Coffee & Donuts to Soldiers in War Zones

I had no idea that volunteers for the Red Cross were sent into war zones during WWII to serve coffee and donuts to soldiers after D-Day. The main character is based on the author's mother's experiences. The book is so interesting. The Club Mobile starts out in England during the blitz and goes on to France, Belgium and eventually into Germany. The women are shot at, witness entire towns that have been destroyed, dead bodies everywhere and even go to a death camp right after it is liberated to see the atrocities. I highly recommend this book.
