While bombs fell on London, Dorothy, as a Red Cross Field Director in an army psychiatric hospital, worked to restore the tangled minds of patients; meanwhile, a troop ship zig-zagging over mine-infested waters carried Edna May to Bombay where crusty cockroaches bid welcome to India.
Edna May, Dorothy's sister, arrived in Cherapunji, the only woman with a crew of male engineers who were building the Ledo Road. She slept in a thatched basha while the monsoon rains poured endlessly.
When Dorothy's corps arrived in France ahead of schedule, they found mine fields where their tent hospital was to be constructed and German soldiers close by.
Edna May flew over the Hump in a C-47 to China where she became rich with tales, drained with work, and incensed with the huge resident rats.
This book contains letters the sisters sent home during the heat of World War II and, in 1998, Ednam May inserted further notes on the war's happenings and on key figures for clearer understanding and enjoyment of the reader.
