The Soldier of Stars [1] - Band of Brothers

Summary:

Hazel Parker of the WAC, Catherine McCown of SPARs and Elizabeth Elliot of the Cadet Nurses' Corps take part in Operation Virago which will send 250 women to the front lines to fight alongside men. The government, along with the War Department and direction from General Eisenhower decide this is a secret, covert operation that the public will be shielded from, to see how integrating women into war will work.

Each of the 250 women come with their own ambitions of what they want from war and why they signed up in the first place to be apart of this program. They become split into each of the 5 branches with leverage from each of the branch commanders, and split into groups of 2, 3, or 4 women and are placed into their different respective branches.

Hazel Parker, Catherine McCown and Elizabeth Elliot are placed into the 101st Airborne, the first 3 women to be apart of the Airborne. These 3 women become part of the 506th and are put under 2nd Battalion, in Easy Company. This Company, the men in it, and the friendships and ever-lasting bonds they recreate might just change their lives, forever.

easy company, of the 101st airborne, not only consists of some of america's fiercest paratroopers, but also 3 strong women that are willing to now risk everything for their country.

this is the story of a company from start to finish. how they come together as a unit, through the highs and lows, through their difficult and ongoing training, all the way up until the moment that they've prepared for this entire time.

once they hit that moment in their time, their story continues, painting a picture of what it was truly like to serve as a soldier in easy company.

hi! hello! and welcome!

many of you might be coming from my other band of brothers' story sunshine soldier, so hello again! if you aren't familiar with me or my previous story, then welcome to my new book and hello!! i hope that if you're interested you'll check out sunshine soldier as well!

i started thinking of this idea a few months back, and enjoyed the concept of there being multiple strong, independent women in a story. i enjoyed charlotte's story in sunshine soldier a lot, and all my readers from there did as well, but all good things must come to an end at some point. this story truly focuses on emotions, friendships, sisterhood, love, all important things that seem to be shed away with war, but here i want to make it show that they can be the things to save your life :)
