Cherry Ames, Chief Nurse | 
so-soCherry is Chief Nurse of an evacuation hospital on an island in the South Pacific. These early novels actively implore girls to study nursing so they can join the war effort. Cherry and her troop of nurses get bombed and treat soldiers close to the combat zone. It‘s a reminder how fierce and tenuous the war was with Japan. Unforgivable: the derogatory language about Japan. I can‘t wait until Cherry has adventures in civilian nursing. 🌴

TheBookHippie Wait. This came out before WWII ended or no? 7mo
catiewithac @TheBookHippie yes this was published in 1944. She‘s a flight nurse next and then a veterans nurse. So the end of the war is coming up! 7mo
