Gleason is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Hilda, an American girl from Iowa, who is compelled to join the war effort in Belgium during World War I. Eager to experience the reality of war and help those in need, she volunteers with a Red Cross motor ambulance corps, navigating the harrowing landscapes of war-torn Belgium.  The opening portion introduces us to Hilda's character, emphasizing her determination and adventurous spirit. Following her arrival in London at the onset of the war, Hilda actively seeks a way to contribute to the war effort, eventually securing a position in an ambulance corps. The narrative captures her transition from a sheltered life to the brutal realities of war as she faces challenges and trauma in caring for the wounded.
