Meet Sergeant Quinby Graham—big, lovable, penniless, and absolutely determined to get what he wants. Freshly returned from the battlefields of World War I, Quin finds himself hospitalized and unexpectedly enchanted by a volunteer Red Cross visitor, the beautiful and aristocratic Eleanor Bartlett. There is just one problem: Eleanor is already engaged, and her formidable, eccentric family stands like a fortress between Quin and the girl of his dreams. But if there is one thing the army taught Quin, it is how to strategize. With unyielding optimism, a sharp wit, and a refusal to take no for an answer, he launches a charming offensive to win her heart. Alice Caldwell Hegan Rice's classic romantic comedy is a delightful romp through 1920s high society. Full of sparkling dialogue, memorable characters, and heartwarming humor, this classic tale proves that sometimes the greatest victories are won by a stubborn heart.
