Synopsis

From the rear cover of this 160 page book: "This is a book about war written by nurses. It is a book of anger and sadness and of the lessons learned, the lives lost and the need to move on. It is a collection of memories and stories, of thoughts and feelings. It is about good and bad times, then and now, about fantasy and reality, backflashes and nightmares and about the healing process of telling and remembering. It is a powerful view into a jarring and disconnected war. The themes of wounds and healing, of buried feelings and well-defended postures are held together by this book. It is a story of good soldiers in a bad war, young women who grew old in Vietnam, of women who have reclaimed their memories and themselves."
