When We Had Wings

In this compelling audiobook, three bestselling authors weave a poignant narrative about U.S. Navy nurse Eleanor Lindstrom, U.S. Army nurse Penny Franklin, and Filipina nurse Lita Capel, who form a deep friendship amid the idyllic backdrop of the Philippines in 1941. As war escalates, they transition from a seemingly paradise assignment to facing the harrowing realities of combat and captivity as the first female prisoners of World War II. Enduring squalid conditions and food shortages, the nurses rely on their bond to sustain hope and support their fellow inmates through the darkest moments of their lives. This story, inspired by the true experiences of the "Angels of Bataan," highlights the resilience and camaraderie of these women against overwhelming odds.
