Gerri Hilger has been dreaming of and pretending to write stories for 50 years. Then, this book finally became a reality. A few years ago, while working on her Masters in Education, she became part of an intensive writing program: The National Writing Project.
"Hilger has gifted us with a WWII historical fiction with a lighthearted side and an enjoyable sweet romance on the side."
— Chanticleer Review
Our Duty follows the shenanigans of Polly and Aggie, student nurses during WW II, as they struggle to graduate. Aggie joins the Army Air Corps where she qualifies as flight nurse. Through her letters the reader learns of the difficulties faced by this under-recognized group of brave women including their initial lack of respect by the military brass. The book is based on real events in the lives of dear people, including my parents, one of Mom’s best friends, uncles and others who became dear friends and blessings in my life.
