Description
Against the backdrop of World War II, two very different women join the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps and become part of a groundbreaking class of Black female officers. As they help form the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion—the only all-Black, all-female U.S. battalion sent overseas—they must confront military bureaucracy, segregation, and the relentless pressure to prove themselves. Their journey from training grounds to England and France illuminates the courage, resilience, and sisterhood required to serve a country that does not yet fully recognize their sacrifices. Inspired by the true story of the Six Triple Eight, this powerful historical novel brings an overlooked chapter of women’s and Black military history to life.
