Over There: An Immersive Dive into WWI through the Characters in a Novel - Bundle Eligible

This interactive discussion, accompanied by a slideshow, delves into the remarkable story of the Medical Corps during World War I. Over There, the third installment of The Gilded City trilogy, follows four doctors and nurses from Threadbare and In the Hands of Women as they confront the brutal realities of The Great War. Drawing on meticulous research and vivid storytelling, the presentation explores three key phases: the chaos of trench warfare, the emergence of the American Hospital in Paris, and the emotional toll on those anxiously waiting at home. Attendees will learn about groundbreaking medical advances driven by compassion and necessity, while also reflecting on the war’s devastating impact on children. This program offers a moving and thought-provoking look at resilience, sacrifice, and the cost of conflict.
