Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, this collection features sketches inspired by Louisa May Alcott's own experiences as a volunteer nurse. The narrative begins with the character Tribulation Periwinkle, who yearns for purpose and eagerly decides to nurse soldiers after dismissing other suggestions. Her journey unfolds with challenges in securing a position and traveling through major cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, ultimately leading her to Washington DC, where she faces the realities of war and caregiving.
