Ellie is a young British medic on her first tour of Afghanistan. When her unit is ambushed, she sees a girl step into the crossfire. But instead of finding her injured, Ellie is led into a mystery linked to a hidden Taliban weapons cache, a bombed-out village-and a mob of armed children. With the attractive American marine, Lieutenant Ben Jackson, Ellie sets out to discover the truth, but soon realises that in war nothing can be relied upon, except her growing trust in Ben and the displaced Afghan children that she's come to care about.

In the heat and dust of war, can love survive?

I picked this book up on whim and it's now my favourite book. This story follows a young medic, Ellie, on her first tour in Afghanistan and explores love, death, war and a tinge of mystery. I couldn't put this book down and devoured it in an afternoon. Massey's writing ability is amazing and makes the themes accessible and understandable for a younger and older reader's. Ellie is funny, down-to-earth likeable character and the interactions of the characters within her team was funny while keeping with the seriousness of war. This story felt real based on the author's own experiences. This book is gritty, real, funny and romantic. This book is amazing and I would recommend it no matter what your genre. 14 out of 15 Golden Chickens!
