Book Excellence Award

Congratulations to Kat Biggie Press author, Gerri Hilger on winning a Book Excellence Award in the Friendship category for her book, Our Duty, published by KBP in 2018.

About The Book

Our DutyOur Duty follows the shenanigans of Polly and Aggie, student nurses when World War II began. Eager to be a part of the action, Aggie joins the Army Air Corps upon graduating nursing school, and qualifies as flight nurse. She is shipped off to the Pacific, while Polly stays home. Aggie soon faces many difficulties common to this under-recognized group of brave women, including their initial lack of respect by the military brass. Aggie finally earned the respect of all around her when she kept 30 wounded men safe when their plane went down in the Pacific. Her letters home detail the challenges for nurses and the accounts of the personal lives of the airmen she came to know who faced unimaginable dangers in the skies over Europe, many ending in death. While Polly stayed behind to help on the home front, she does her part to keep Aggie entertained. Her letters boost the morale of any who are privy to them, describing romantic adventures and changes in life in the States.
