In Loving Memory of Dr. J. Sheldon (“Shelly”) Artz

Vita is a young Ukrainian nurse whose strength and quiet resilience coexist between caring for the war wounded and her suspended hopes of future marriage and motherhood. Navigating a thin line between exhaustion, duty, and her tenderness for the injured, Vita manages to preserve her inner self. With her life under continued threat, she defines life on her own terms in the most unexpected places.
