"Mary Lee the Red Cross Girl" by Helen Hart is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Mary Lee, a compassionate and spirited girl, who has grown from her challenging early life in an orphanage to become a beloved member of the Quinn family and a dedicated aspiring nurse and Red Cross Girl. The narrative explores her heartfelt relationships, particularly with friends and mentors, and her commitment to helping others during trying times. The opening of the story introduces Mary Lee as she eagerly anticipates the return of her friend Bobbie, who has been healed from his injuries.
