I have to say I never knew that nurses had become prisoners of war. This book is amazing and I love how it shares the lives of the three nurses during their imprisonment. I can not imagine what it must have been like and to then be paraded around the US after as if they were waiting to be rescued. The fact they they endured the same as the males in those encampments should be talked about. The story is amazing and I love how it talks about their lives and the friendship and how some times that's all that can get you through this life. A great historical story about amazing women and men.
