Questions for Discussion
If you had the chance to sail off to Hawaii in 1941, do you think you would have gone? What part of the voyage appeals to you most?
Do you think Eva made the right choice to leave Michigan? Was concealing what happened at the hospital justified?
Do you think it was right to keep Brandy at Tripler Hospital to keep up the morale of the wounded? Do you believe in therapy dogs/pets? Have you had personal experience with one?
Eva had to stand up to some powerful men who didn’t necessarily respect her or her expertise. Do you think she handled it well? Would you have been able to speak up?
How did you feel about Eva’s loyalty or disloyalty to Billy? Do you think she acted appropriately? Should she have followed her heart with Clark sooner? Or not at all?
Do you have any relatives or know anyone who was at Pearl Harbor during the attack? During the war? If so, what were their experiences?
Unless one has been through an event such as this, it’s hard to imagine the terror and fear that was experienced. If you put yourself in the shoes of the nurses, how do you think you would have held up?
The nurses got each other through the days after the attack. Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to rely on the support of a group of friends or colleagues? What is the effect of shared trauma on a group?
What are your thoughts on the advance knowledge theory about Pearl Harbor—that some people knew the Japanese attack was coming beforehand?
What did you learn about Pearl Harbor that you didn’t already know?
