His Banner Over Me by Jean Little

Based on the story of Jean's mother, it describes the life of a girl growing up in Canada before World War I. It tells of difficult times - not seeing her parents for years and watching her brothers go to battle. But at the end of the story Flora has faced tragedy and decided to become a doctor.
