The Poppy Young ladies is the first subject within the Maitland Trilogy, by best-selling writer Margaret Dickinson. Even amidst the horror of the trenches, companionship will survive. Thwarted in her desire to become a doctor like her sibling, Robert, Pips Maitland rebels against her mother's wants that she settle down and increase children. However, when Robert brings home a pal from medical institution, Giles Kendall, it appears perhaps Pips might land deeply in love with an acceptable suitor after all. But the yr is 1914, and the future is uncertain. Reading that her father's good friend, Dr John Hazelwood, is creating a traveling ambulance corps to try leading lines, Pips is determined to become one of its nurses and asks Alice Dawson, her maid, to go with her. Robert and Giles offer their services as doctors, and Alice's sibling William joins them as a stretcher bearer. Nothing may have prepared them for the horrific places they face. Moving their device close to the fighting to provide first aid as fast as possible puts them all in constant risk. But even amidst the barrage of shelling and gunfire and the unending stream of injured being taken to their post, the love between Pips and Giles survives and blossoms just like the poppies of Flanders areas.
