Product Description

Review
"An awesome, painfully honest look at war through a woman's eyes."

Product Description
This personal memoir tells the story of the Vietnam War as seen through the eyes of a nurse. The story plunges the reader into the bloodiest aspects of the war itself, then continues after the end of the war as the author attempts to regain the love of her family.

4.0 out of 5 stars harrowing experiences of a young nurse in the Vietnam War, 31 Jul 2001
Really gripping book, I read it almost without stopping. I have read a lot of books about the Vietnam War but this story of a young pretty nurse plunged into this war was extremely gripping. Like many Vietnam vets she suffered even years after her return and one can understand why after reading this book. Not a book for the squeamish, but books about war never are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Vietnam memoir, 6 Feb 2006
By A Customer
I have read many Vietnam history books and this is one of the very, very best. I read it in two days flat. Beautifully evocative, balanced and moving, it really takes you there. I only wish the author were still alive; I would love to write and tell her how memorable this book is. A really valuable tribute to those who served and a fascinating personal history, which also covers the problems faced by those who returned to the US after leaving the war zone.
