The Philippines, 1941. When US Navy nurse Eleanor Lindstrom, US Army nurse Penny Franklin, and Filipina nurse Lita Capel forge a friendship at the Army Navy Club in Manila, they believe they're living a paradise assignment. All three are seeking a way to escape their pasts, but soon the beauty and promise of their surroundings give way to the heavy mantle of war. Caught in the crosshairs of a fight between the US military and the Japanese Imperial Army for control of the Philippine islands, the nurses are forced to serve under combat conditions and, ultimately, endure captivity as the first female prisoners of the Second World War. As their resiliency is tested in the face of squalid living arrangements, food shortages, and the enemy's blatant disregard for the articles of the Geneva Convention, they strive to keep their hope-and their fellow inmates-alive, though not without great cost. In this sweeping story based on the true experiences of nurses dubbed "the Angels of Bataan," three women shift in and out of each other's lives through the darkest days of the war, buoyed by their unwavering friendship and distant dreams of liberation. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Nurses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women prisoners of war $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Philippines $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Hospitals $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z Philippines $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Prisoners and prisons, Japanese $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Electronic books. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15178439?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/hpc_9780785253242_180.jpeg 941 $a 2 952 $l SPPE104 $d 20240313010646.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206012410.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45BA19BC940511EE938C1F5A49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
