The autobiography highlights the remarkable journey of a Jamaican woman who gained fame during the Crimean War, rivaling that of Florence Nightingale. After extensive travels, she faced racial discrimination when offering her nursing services in London, ultimately leading her to establish her own hospital on the battlefield.
