The others on her transport plane are thrilled to work in paradise, but Annie sees her new duty station as the Army’s way of holding the door open to her retirement. But serving \u003cbr\u003eher country is her calling, and she will go wherever she is told.\u003cbr\u003eOn December 7, Annie’s on her way to work when the first Japanese Zero fighter plane flies low over Hickam’s parade ground. The death and destruction that follow leave her no time to process what’s happening. She rallies her nurses, and they work to save as many lives as they can. But \u003cbr\u003esoon, their small hospital is overwhelmed. Annie drives into Honolulu to gather supplies, nurses, and several women who will donate blood. However, the nurses are Japanese Americans, and the blood donors are prostitutes. \u003cbr\u003eUnder Annie’s leadership and working together in unexpected ways, they make it through that horrific day, when one of the Japanese American nurses and Annie’s friend, Kay, is arrested as a suspected subversive. As Hickam tries to recover, Annie works to find her friend and return Kay to \u003cbr\u003eher family. But Annie’s love for her country is put to the test. How can she reconcile the American bravery and resilience she saw on December 7 with the prejudice and injustice she witnessesjust a few months later?\u003cbr\u003eBased on the real life of Lieutenant Annie Fox, chief nurse of Hickam Hospital, The Woman with a Purple Heart is an inspiring story of heroic leadership, courage, and friendship that also highlights a shocking and shameful side of history.","brand":"Recorded Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49352050671920,"sku":"BDhgcx","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49503826379056,"sku":"ZEhgcx","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49503826411824,"sku":"ZMhgcx","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/449675-hgcx-Square.jpg?v=1734323914","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hgcx","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
