Where the Wildflowers Lay: A WWI Novel

By Elora Maxwell

As spring wildflowers bloom in the American midwest in 1917, Lorraine McQuarrie envisions those same flowers rising from the trenches in war-torn France. Ever a fearless young woman, Lorraine knows the Great War is coming for her nation and her loved ones. She would brandish a helmet and uniform if she could; anything to save her youngest brother from the fate of a German rifle. It's not until General John Pershing calls upon women to join the war effort that Lorraine finds her opportunity. For the first time, American women will join their husbands, sons, and brothers at the front lines. With the skills needed and a heart for adventure, Lorraine joins the U.S. Army Signal Corps and begins her journey as a Hello Girl. Facing those who question her ability, scores of defeated men starving for hope, the guilt of leaving home, and an impossible romance, Lorraine must decide if she's brave enough to take on the war and earn the life she's always imagined.
