Sara Ackerman's book, The Lieutenant's Nurse, although a historical fiction book, does a very fair job in describing and enveloping the reader into being at or near Pearl Harbor leading up to, during, and following the 'real thing.' I give mostly four stars to books that I really like and that held my interest all the way through.
