Publisher's Synopsis
Anna Maria O'Shea wants to serve her country as a nurse in Vietnam. Unfortunately this smart, dedicated young woman makes remarkably poor choices when it comes to the men in her life. Leaving for the war saves her from one misguided romance, but her second chance at love proves problematic as well.
Her real success is with a warzone friendship with her roommate, Kathy Ann. This fellow nurse offers Anna Maria new insights into life and men. When Anna Maria meets George, she is faced with a problem of a different sort. Kathy Ann has been captured by the Viet Cong.
Anna Maria risks her own life with the group of rescuers. How will she deal with her feelings about Vietnam? George helps her with a story about a bowl of rice.
