While Europe enters a brutal conflict unlike any waged before, the Duncan household in Baltimore, Maryland, is the setting for a different struggle. Ruth and Elise Duncan long to escape the roles that society, and their controlling father, demand they play.

Rising above the appalling conditions, she seizes an opportunity to realise her dream to practice medicine as a doctor.
