Helpful Score: 3

I became caught up in this book. It is about the innocence of a young nurse and how that innocence is shattered. It was hard to read, not for how it was written, but the horrors of the Vietnam War. I felt the author bared her soul. To relive it by telling her story was very courageous. You can imagine some of it with the writing, but there is no way to capture the the rawness of it all. My uncle was a tunnel rat. This story made me think a lot about him and what he went through. How frightened they all had to be, the ones who were drafted right out of high school and the ones like this nurse that volunteered. I thank them all.
