The Jade Pendant
Mariella's story, inspired by the book A Flower in Auschwitz, is shared through the author, a veteran honored to compose her tale. Mariella, who died ten years prior from cancer linked to Agent Orange exposure during her service in the Vietnam War, left behind oral histories and diaries that illuminate her journey as an Army nurse. Names have been changed for privacy, reflecting the family's discomfort with disclosing personal details in the evolving views on LGBTQ communities. This book honors the service of nurses like Mariella, emphasizing their crucial roles during a turbulent time.
