Charlotte Esme Burton, a young lady born stronger than the average woman. She lived with her family in the countryside. Her family was poor and often struggled to make ends meet. She grew up with a passion for fighting and proving herself strong, trained by her father in combat often landing them both a scolding by Mrs Burton. The country went to war and everyone was required to contribute by sending a man from their family to war. The Burtons did not have a single man in the family and the only male they had was Charlotte's five-year-old younger brother who would have been forced to join the war as Mr Burton had died. Charlotte couldn't bear the thought of her younger brother dying on the battlefield at the age of five and instead took his place, scorned by the society.
"The battlefield is no place for a woman! Come on Charlotte, I'm sure they wouldn't let your younger brother suffer too badly. You're a lady!" her mother scolded her.
"He will see things that children are not supposed to experience at such a young age. He is just a boy! And I can take care of myself! You know that very well, so I'm going."
What happens when she experiences firsthand the difficulties of surviving on the battlefront. To add onto her troubles, she is a woman and is scorned by all the men within the camp for volunteering to fight. Will she crack under the pressure or not?

Yours Truly
[Copyright © 2014] In 1943, Charlotte Truly is a nineteen-year-old American nurse serving in World War II. The oldest of four daughters, Charlotte is mostly a shy and reserved girl who keeps to herself. But when Charlotte meets William McCaden, an injured soldier on leave whom she'd briefly met when she was seventeen, she finds herself falling inexplicably in love. When Will is shipped overseas to Nazi-occupied France to fight in a deadly combat mission, Charlotte and Will have only their letters to keep each other close... but in the midst of war, how can love possibly survive? ----- DISCLAIMER: This work was written when I, Raine the author, was 14 years old (circa 2014) and is a FIRST DRAFT. Certain aspects of this story are highly problematic and should rightfully be called out. Please do bear in mind, however, that the entirety of what you see here was written (unedited) by a 14-year-old girl. Now, I as a 20-year-old writing student am fully aware of my mistakes and would like to apologize profusely for them. They are not reflective of my present character by any means and I can assure you that I FULLY condemn the slut-shaming, misogyny, white saviorism, racism, and the general oversimplification of vastly complex themes and historical contexts you might see in Yours Truly (2014). As much as I would like to chalk it all up to being a sign of the times (the very backwards 1940s), I understand now how I should have handled this particular time period with more tact and discretion. Especially with how I recklessly portrayed the horrific racial climate of the 1940s American South. Again, I am very sorry and can wholeheartedly promise you that any later drafts of Yours Truly would 100% rework all of these themes and contexts with the utmost of consideration towards the communities they affect directly. Thank you. -Raine, Feb. 11/2021Complete
