Summary

In 1943, Irene Woodward isi paraseste logodnicul abuziv din New York ca sa se inroleze in echipele Crucii Rosii si sa plece in Europa. In cursul instructiei se imprieteneste rapid cu Dorothy Dunford, o vlajgana din Midwest cu o prezenta de spirit muscatoare. Impreuna fac parte dintr-un grup feminin de elita poreclit Papuselele cu Gogoselele, care, deplasandu-se cu niste camioane adaptate pe linia frontului, le ofera soldatilor afectiune camaradereasca si gustul mancarii de acasa.In 1943, Irene Woodward abandons an abusive fiancé in New York to enlist with the Red Cross and head to Europe. She makes fast friends in training with Dorothy Dunford, a towering Midwesterner with a ferocious wit. Together they are part of an elite group of women, nicknamed Donut Dollies, who command military vehicles called Clubmobiles at the front line, providing camaraderie and a taste of home that may be the only solace before troops head into battle. After D-Day, these two intrepid friends join the Allied soldiers streaming into France. Their time in Europe will see them embroiled in danger, from the Battle of the Bulge to the liberation of Buchenwald. Through her friendship with Dorothy, and a love affair with a courageous American fighter pilot named Hans, Irene learns to trust again.
