The book comprises a collection of letters that reveal the personal experiences of the author, who resides in France during the early days of the war.

She reflects on the recent events surrounding the Battle of the Marne and captures the complex emotions of living in a war zone, balancing fear with a sense of relief and normalcy. Aldrich’s letters depict daily life intertwined with the war's realities, including moments of humor, introspection, and her interactions with characters like Amélie, her maid, and the local residents.
