The Ragdoll And The Marine: A Memoir - Nicole Calvo is a CHamoru author, and native daughter of Guam. Calvo’s memoir, The Ragdoll and The Marine, gives view to the CHamoru experience on Guam during World War 2 through her mother’s personal accounts. In addition, the premise revolves around how in the midst of turbulence, a simple gesture of kindness can last a lifetime. A theme worthy of noting is the lingering effects of war, and how it can fatefully shape generations after. Calvo’s down-to-earth narrative makes for a charming read to complement such an endearing, adventurous, and historical story.

Half way through the book and enjoying the read. Amazing that the little girl was connected to the soldier who gave her the rag doo; quite a historical moment

I bought this book for my staff to celebrate Nurses Day! What an honor to share this book with them, a first-hand account of the sacrifices and challenges that helped mold our profession. As active-duty uniformed service nurses, we must always remember that although these individuals may not have fought the war with a weapon, they fought with their hearts and souls to ensure that the soldiers and all involved were cared for and loved.
