Spiers Stories

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.

Dr. Lilian 'Lily' Hendrix was born along the Mississippi delta, a Choctaw girl raised in a tight-knit community where responsibility, endurance, and care for others were learned early. From childhood, Lily displayed a remarkable intellect and an unshakable focus. At just fourteen years old, she defied every social and institutional expectation of her era by becoming the youngest girl ever accepted into medical school. Four years later, at eighteen, she graduated as a fully licensed physician-an achievement nearly unheard of for any woman, and extraordinary for a Native girl in the early twentieth century. Lily began her career at Charity Hospital in New Orleans, where the volume of patients and severity of injuries forged her into a decisive, unflinching doctor. When the United States entered World War II, she joined the Army Medical Corps, refusing a safer stateside position in favor of frontline service. Her skill, speed, and ability to keep soldiers alive under impossible conditions quickly earned her a reputation that traveled through military ranks. That reputation led to a rare request: Lily was assigned as a temporary physician to the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment during training at Camp Toccoa. From there, she followed the men across Europe-treating shattered bodies in field hospitals, barns, and improvised aid stations, often under fire. To the soldiers, she became a steady presence amid chaos, known for her calm voice, relentless work, and refusal to abandon the wounded. After the war, Lily returned home believing her service was complete. Instead, she was informed that her wartime work would be classified, her contributions omitted from official records. For decades, her name remained absent from history, her heroism known only to those she had saved. Her story remained buried until 2001, when Band of Brothers brought renewed attention to the 506th and finally revealed her truth.

An incredible true story - in 1964 my father, British Javelin champion John McSorley, built a man-size box and shipped it from Heathrow airport. The airfreight was human; his friend Reg Spiers, a penniless young Australian athlete desperate to get home and win back his girl. He was in for the ride of his life; a nightmarish cocktail of turbulent cargo holds, forklift truck disasters and mind-altering dehydration. He’d risk everything for Annie, but little did she know, they'd soon be skipping bail on drug-smuggling charges. Follow the true-crime exploits of the young couple and their years of gripping, high-stakes dramas through India, Africa and Sri Lanka.
