September’s Book: Over There by Jane Loeb Rubin

Synopsis of Book: OVER THERE, the third installment of the Gilded City trilogy immerses readers in the gripping journey of four family members from Threadbare and In the Hands of Women, all dedicated doctors and nurses facing the daunting realities of The Great War. Through meticulous research and compelling storytelling, the narrative unfolds across three distinct stages, transporting readers from New York City into the terrifying nightmare of trench warfare, showcasing the magnificent rise of the American Hospital in Paris, while highlighting groundbreaking medical innovations fueled by the unwavering commitment of healthcare workers, and finally, those left home in a state of constant worry. This powerful book courageously addresses the often-overlooked, profound impact of war on children, evoking a deep sense of empathy and prompting critical reflection on the cost of war.
