November, 1941 . Eva Cassidy has reasons for making the crossing to Hawaii, and they run a lot deeper than escaping a harsh Michigan winter. Newly enlisted as an Army Corps nurse, Eva is stunned by the splendor she experiences aboard the SS Lurline, but more so by Lt. Clark Spencer, a man to whom she is drawn but who clearly has secrets of his own. As an army intelligence officer, Clark knows that the United States won’t be able to hold off joining the war for long, but nothing can prepare them for the surprise attack that will change the world they know. In the wake of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Eva and her fellow nurses will fight to keep the American wounded alive, and Eva will have to decide what kind of woman she will become.
