The Vietnam War, the war no one wants to remember, the forgotten veterans. The women who fought for their country and their people are even more forgotten. It is the story of one woman who just wanted to make her father and her country proud. She struggles to live but survives and finds strength through her friendships with other women. 


It's such a heartwrenching story. It was so interesting seeing what the world was like back then. Furthermore, it was touching to see women come together and build each other up. I love being a woman and having female relationships!
