An inspiring graphic novel about Jane Kendeigh, a nurse who helped
wounded soldiers in combat zones during World War II. During World War
II, the United States' fight against the Japanese on islands in the
Pacific was intense and deadly. To help respond to casualties in battle,
the U.S. Navy trained 122 nurses to aid wounded soldiers in combat
zones. The first nurse to do so was Jane Kendeigh, a twenty-two-year-old
woman from Ohio. In March 1945, Kendeigh's first assignment was to help
soldiers fighting in the Battle of Iwo Jima--a fierce battle with many
casualties. With bravery and determination, she and other nurses helped
thousands of soldiers in that battle--and many more in the Battle of
Okinawa. In this full-color graphic novel, discover more about this
courageous nurse who braved the battlefield to help U.S. soldiers. Other
