Who was: The Woman with a Purple Heart

Readers of WWII set historical fiction may well want to take a look at this book. It tells the story of a nurse, Annie Fox, who was in Hawaii on that fateful December 7th. Nurse Fox had not wanted to leave her post in the Philipines but had no choice and little did she know what lay ahead. Who Annie Fox was and what she did form the basis of this story. Readers will recognize the complexity of this time in history as they turn the pages.

Every time I think that I have read my last WWII based story, I get drawn back in. I think that this book will be enjoyed by those who like the novels of Sara Ackerman.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for this title. All opinions are my own.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!
