More Precious Than Gold

When artistic, middle-class Kitty Winthrop discovers the grandmother she always believed dead is actually the uber-wealthy leader of New York high society, Kitty jumps at the chance to make her debut into that world despite her mother's disapproval. But all that glitters isn't gold, and Kitty soon realizes that ball gowns, jewels and fancy parties don't feed the soul.

As America enters World War I, Kitty makes a bold decision to forego the life of luxury and wealth promised by her grandmother and pursue a nursing career at Bellevue Hospital. When the Pandemic Flu of 1918 strikes New York City the student nurses are working sixteen-hour shifts. As the flu epidemic reaches its peak, hearts are tested, lives are lost, and no one knows who will survive to see if love can overcome all obstacles.
