Home before Morning: The Story of an Army Nurse in Vietnam by Lynda Van Devanter

dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Story of a happy-go-lucky young lady fresh out of nursing school. Then she goes to Vietnam for one year of service. Her story tells the horror of war. Countless young boys dying during her long shifts in the operating room. Her return home was equally appalling. When she returns home she is plagued with depression and untreated PTSD. At the time, women nurse veterans were not acknowledge and lacked access to treatment and resources.  Her work in achieving recognition for women who served deserves the ultimate praise. Listened to the audio. An excellent presentation.
