"With cinematic verisimilitude and deep emotional understanding,
Urrea opens readers’ eyes to
the female Red Cross volunteers
who served overseas during WWII,
delivering donuts, coffee, and homestyle friendliness to U.S. troops . . .
WWII fiction fans, who have an abundance of options, should embrace Urrea's vivid,
hard-hitting novel about the
valiant achievements of these unsung wartime heroines."
