Girl in a Pink Skirt is a memoir of World War II days. It is not about important people in high places, bloody battlefields or famous military campaigns. Rather, it is a lightly told story of the times and of the ordinary people, both men and women, both civilian and military who served behind the men, behind the guns that won the war. Little known details of life on the home front, as well as in the military service, are exquisitely told, including the hilarious adventures of a young woman in the fledgling Women's Army Corps. The thread of a love story runs throughout the book giving it the feel of a novel rather than that of a true-life experience. The pages ring with charm and simplicity and with the author's own special brand of self-effacing humor. Girl in a Pink Skirt is bound to be among the last of the firsthand accounts of one of the most momentous eras in all of human history.
