Annie Fox will stop at nothing to serve her country. But what happens when her country fails her? In November 1941, Annie Fox, an Army nurse, is transferred to Hickam Field, an air force base in Honolulu. The others on her transport plane are thrilled to work in paradise, but Annie sees her new duty station as the Army's way of holding the door open to her retirement. But serving her country is her calling and she will go wherever she is told. On December 7, Annie's on her way to work when the first Japanese Zero fighter plane flies low over Hickam's Parade Ground. The death and destruction that follow leave her no time to process what's happening. She rallies her nurses, and they work to save as many lives as they can. But soon their small hospital is overwhelmed. Annie drives into Honolulu to gather supplies, nurses, and several women who will donate blood. However, the nurses are Japanese Americans, and the blood donors are prostitutes. Under Annie's leadership and working together in unexpected ways, they make it through that horrific day, when one of the Japanese American nurses and Annie's friend, Kay, is arrested as a suspected subversive. As Hickam tries to recover, Annie works to find her friend and return Kay to her family. But Annie's love for her country is put to the test. How can she reconcile the American bravery and resilience she saw on December 7 with the prejudice and injustice she witnesses just a few months later?"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction H Hanks in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult New Books H Hanks Checked out 05/24/2024 Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Hawaiian Fiction Hanks Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books H Hanks Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H Hanks Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H Hanks Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H Hanks Non Circulating   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Hanks Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Hawaiian Fiction H Hanks Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books H Hanks Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
