A true story of courage and survival in the face of war. In 1940, Navy nurse Dorothy Still eagerly anticipates her assignment in the Philippines. But as war looms, Dorothy transforms from a nurse to a war nurse. When the Philippines falls, she becomes a prisoner of war, enduring disease, starvation, and abuse.

Along with fellow nurses, she provides tireless care in cramped conditions, finding friendship and even love amidst hardship. This is the incredible true story of a young woman who fought for life during a dark time. Perfect for readers interested in World War II history and biographies of courageous women.
