In 1991, Kay Thompson Baxter's adult children asked her to write her memoir. They wanted to know more about their mother's life growing up on a farm in the Piedmont region of North Carolina and her experiences as a United States Navy Nurse during World War II. Twenty-five years later, her book remains an eloquent personal history. This powerful, slim volume offers important insights into the military servicewomen of America's Greatest Generation. Educational, funny, and poignant, MAKE WAY FOR THE LADY ENSIGN: An American Memoir is the autobiography of a gracious and courageous woman. Sally M. Tibbetts: A Bookworm in Cyber Space
