Cease Firing is a novel written by Mary Johnston. Set during World War I, the story follows the lives of a group of American soldiers who are sent to fight in France. The main character is John Sherwood, a young man who is eager to prove himself in battle. He is joined by his friend, Tom, and a group of other soldiers who quickly become like family to him. As they fight their way through the trenches, John begins to question the purpose of the war and the toll it is taking on him and his comrades. Along the way, he falls in love with a French woman named Colette, who helps him see the beauty in life despite the horrors of war. As the war comes to a close, John and his friends must come to terms with the trauma they have experienced and find a way to move forward. Cease Firing is a powerful and emotional story about the human cost of war and the resilience of the human spirit.1912. Johnston, an American novelist, wrote books that combine romance with history.
