But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different path for her life.

It will the journey of a lifetime…

This sounds really fantastic! A story about the 1960s and inserting women into the war story sounds intriguing
Wow that sounds fantastic! A novel about the 1960s – such a fascinating decade – and inserting women into the story of war is intriguing.
Sounds a novel I would absolutely love to read!
eager to see what the fuss is about
The Vietnam War is a topic that has rarely taken women into its back stories let alone one featuring women in a military, albeit non- fighting, role. Congratulations.
Women can be heroes too. I loved Kristin Hannah’s The nightingale and can’t wait to read another of her novels with strong female protagonists making their mark in challenging times.
I can’t wait to read this!
Yes please! I would love to receive this.
I’m intrigued to read this book, as my mother also went to war in 1943, as an army ambulance driver to collect and transport war wounded.
