Grace Steele and Eliza Jones may be from completely different backgrounds, but when it comes to the army, specifically the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC), they are both starting from the same level.
In her debut, Alderson delivers a must-read you won't forget. And imagine, these women hung onto their patriotism despite the people and the government that didn't support them. The characters are authentic, the story heartfelt. It's the kind of historical fiction I love. This is a big story with wonderfully written Black women soldiers who are complicated, heroic, smart, sassy, flawed, and wise. The different reasons that caused them to enlist, how they dealt with prejudice while serving their country, and how the bond between them developed and then threatened to tear them apart make this such a moving and complex tale. Sisters in Arms begins with enlistment day in New York City and takes us on a journey from Fort Des Moines, Iowa, to England, France, and back home to New York by closely following two women from very different backgrounds, Grace and Eliza. Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC)-or Six Triple Eight, as they were called-who had to deal with racism, broken promises, and so much more, and I fell in love with each of these fabulous women from page one of Alderson's story.
