"Rita Dragonette has written a strong-hearted and authentic novel
about a naive young girl and her struggle to reconcile the
dissonance between the world she sees and the world she was raised
to believe in. Judy is truly a quiet hero; you won't forget her."
-Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean An
enthralling historical novel set during the peak of the Vietnam War
and told through the rare perspective of a young woman, who traces
her path to self-discovery and a "Coming of Conscience." Perfect
for fans of Kate Quinn and Heather Morris. On September 14, 1969,
Private First Class Judy Talton celebrates her nineteenth birthday
by secretly joining the campus anti-Vietnam War movement. In doing
so, she jeopardizes both the army scholarship that will secure her
future and her relationship with her military family. But Judy's
doubts have escalated with the travesties of the war. Who is she if
she stays in the army? What is she if she leaves? When the first
date pulled in the Draft Lottery turns up as her birthday, she
realizes that if she were a man, she'd have been Number One off to
Vietnam with an under-fire life expectancy of six seconds. The
stakes become clear, propelling her toward a life-altering choice
as fateful as that of any draftee. Judy's story speaks to the
poignant clash of young adulthood, early feminism, and war,
offering an ageless inquiry into the domestic politics of protest
when the world stops making sense.
