Doughnuts for God is a novel set during the momentous times of the early twentieth century. The horrors of World War I, the fear, sorrow, danger, and suffering were beyond anything the five young women of the Salvation Army could imagine when they committed themselves to God's service. But when the United States entered the war, they felt called to follow the path of their charismatic and somewhat mysterious commander, Captain Flora Green, confident in her leadership and God's hand on their lives. They all bonded together during their service as "Doughnut Dollies" in the battlefields of France and afterward in hospitals, caring for the influenza victims back home while each of them coped with the aftereffects of the war's impact on their lives.
