Orphaned young and raised Irish-American, Josephine Dare learns early how to endure loss. Drawn to medicine for its order and purpose, she enters the U.S. Army as a surgeon just as the world descends into war. On December 7, 1941, Josephine is stationed at Pearl Harbor when the attack begins. Shot amid the chaos, she refuses evacuation and continues operating, saving lives long after her strength should have failed. By nightfall, her actions have already become legend. She survives the Pacific Theater, carrying the weight of relentless casualties and impossible decisions, before being transferred to England, where she is embedded with the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment-Easy Company. There, war becomes intimate and unrelenting, measured in mud, blood, and exhausted men who trust her with their lives. Among paratroopers hardened by combat, Josephine becomes a constant presence-a healer who never looks away, even as the cost of survival carves itself into her bones. Each operation leaves its mark. Each loss follows her into the dark. As the fighting intensifies, Josephine must confront the truth no training can prepare her for: courage does not make one invincible. How much can a single person endure before the weight of war finally breaks them? Now returned from the Pacific and sent to England, Elsa is assigned as regimental surgeon to the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, men preparing for an invasion few expect to survive. Among paratroopers and officers hardened by loss, she becomes their constant-patching bodies, steadying nerves, and carrying the weight of every life placed in her hands. But endurance has its limits. As D-Day approaches, Elsa begins to confront the cost of survival, the quiet damage left by heroism, and the terrifying truth that even the strongest can break.
