Produktbeschreibung
Jasmine and Wayne Frye offer more than just a history lesson about the courage of the women who put their lives on the line to aid those who suffered on the fields of horror in war. They pay homage to these extraordinary women who answered the call to arms, not with guns and hatred for the enemy, but with compassion for those poor men who had to bear the physical and psychological scars of war. Foe or friend did not matter to these women, as their sole aim was to ease the suffering of all. And what of those who never served in war, but rather found their calling in peace-time? Courage is not just reserved for battle. It can be manifested many times in many different places in a variety of circumstances. Nurses have always answered the call to serve those who need competent professional care and a psychological boost to face the harsh realities of illness or injury. This is a book about purpose and courage, and how some valiant women nobly reached out with the hand of compassion in times of peril.
