This reads more as a series of vignettes of life during the war for Black American WACs than an actual novel. It's interesting in parts but often resorts to telling and there is a distinct lack of overarching plot or consistent story to link all the elements together. Because it's based on the author's cousin's experiences, there are plenty of historical details which helped keep me interested enough to finish.

Thank you to Amistad who kindly sent me an ARC for review.
