Army nurse Rebecca Phillips (first introduced in White's pseudonymously written Echo Company series) relies on Darvon, amphetamines, Coca-Cola and booze-not to mention her own indomitable spirit-to get through the grueling hours caring for wounded and dying young soldiers. A perfectionist with a tart tongue and fondness for old movies, Rebecca wrestles with despair about the war, guilt and responsibility; she also has a difficult romance with Michael Jennings (also of the Echo Company books), a "grunt" who is severely wounded before his discharge. Numb and confused following her own return to the States, Rebecca sets out on a cross-country road trip-and ends up in Michael's hometown. 1410018 11 1997 The Road Home (Point Signature) total:73|5:43|4:24|3:6|2:0|1:0| 73 329 98 18 5 1 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 23 10:25:20 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 23 10:47:27 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Tue Jul 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 10:52:19 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 10:54:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 19:46:59 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 13:28:32 -0700 2009
