Vivandière: At the height of the Civil War, a fifteen-year-old girl volunteers to become a battlefield nurse — a vivandière — with the Confederate army, instantly thrusting her right
onto the front lines. She quickly discovers there are horrors beyond what she sees on the battlefield, from guerrilla fighters who kill and loot wounded soldiers and have no
qualms about doing the same to her, to the officers of her own regiment, whose cold-blooded wartime calculus makes any promises they offer treacherous and often deadly.
