A novel about a young nurse who volunteered to serve in the army in Vietnam during the war. It follows her journey throughout her time in the war zone and after coming home. Her two lost loves and her struggle with addiction are heart rendering and moving.

What an interesting and profound perspective. The book was so well written.

Best book that I have read in ages. Gripping, heartache and a kind of sadness most of us will never know. Read it in two days. WOW!!

I read this book so quickly. It’s now one of my favorite books of all time. So much pain and healing, and hope. I loved the story line so much.

This book was completely enthralling and insightful. It’s the best book I’ve read in a long time!

Loved this book, am a Kristen Hannah fan in general. I really didn’t know much about Vietnam, I was not born yet when it started and was 12 when it ended. We studied it a bit in school and it seemed to be an unpleasant topic in general. To read these details and especially the female perspective was enlightening. I’ve seen the memorial in DC, and am happy to learn more. This was a good read, interesting, captivating, sad and happy at times.

A gripping novel that brings into focus what really happens behinds the scenes.

Beautiful story!! So eye opening about the Vietnam war and ALL who served!! Loved it!!

Amazing book that helps tell the unfortunate story of women's place in the Vietnam war. I was amazed at the treatment the main character receives upon her return Eye opening!

Beautifully written with vivid imagery of a woman grappling with loss on every level. Left such an impression I need to learn more.
