Description: An ordinary American girl with a sense of humor, Jo Hunt lives life to the fullest with every breath. One day in 1952, she decides to pit herself against family and peers by joining the U.S. Navy. This book is based on the letters that Jo wrote home while in Boot Camp. Her mother saved those letters and worried over her daughter who rebelled against the social norms of the day.
