Pruedence Layne is young, beautiful and talented. Though Prue may love the charming and valiant soldier, Christopher Harland, whom she has nursed back to life after front-line combat in the Second World War, she cannot resist a long-coveted posing abroad. Once in France, temptations of a different kind - the attentions of a consultant surgeon - lure her even further away from her young admirer. It is only when Kit is seriously wounded that Prue is struck by the full force of her love for him, but by then fate is no longer in her hands… and she discover that the greater than all is the love.
