A Piece of My Heart

About A Piece of My Heart

“Records the memories of a war in the words of those women courageous enough to walk into hell.”—San Francisco Chronicle

A decade after America pulled out of Vietnam, the seeds of the often heart- wrenching oral history, A Piece of My Heart, were sown when writer and filmmaker Keith Walker met a woman who had been an emergency room nurse in Cu Chi and Da Nang. She and 25 others recount the time they spent “in country” as part of 15,000 American women who volunteered or served as nurses and in the military.
