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.
