In 1943, Irene Woodward leaves behind an abusive fiancé in New York to join the Red Cross and serve in Europe. In training, she bonds with Dorothy Dunford, a sharp-witted Midwesterner, and together they join the elite ranks of the “Donut Dollies.” Tasked with bringing comfort and camaraderie to soldiers on the front lines, Irene and Dorothy become a vital lifeline to troops heading into battle.
After D-Day, the friends find themselves deep in the heart of the war, from the Battle of the Bulge to the liberation of Buchenwald. Amid the horrors of war, Irene discovers love with Hans, a brave American fighter pilot, and a renewed sense of trust through Dorothy’s friendship. But as the war intensifies, Irene’s greatest hope is that they all make it out alive.
