Caroline O'Reilly, a devoted patriot, and inspiring young woman who graduated from the University of Washington School of Nursing, volunteers for the Army Nurse Corps. Determined to serve in the Vietnam War, she answers the urgent need for qualified nurses. Before reporting for duty, she spends the summer in the small coastal town of Ocean Shores, Washington, preparing for her year-long tour. There she meets Frankie, a charismatic, intelligent, and remarkable fireman whose chemistry with Caroline complicates her enlistment plans. Their fears, hopes, and unrest during the Vietnam War era tests them both as they confront life's difficult realities and choices. The horrors and hardships of combat nursing are exhausting and traumatic, touching the heart and soul in unimaginable ways neither Caroline nor Frankie could have predicted.
