In 1943\, Irene Woodward abandons an abusi ve fiancé\; in New York to enlist with the Red Cross and head to Eur ope. She makes fast friends in training with Dorothy Dunford\, a towering Midwesterner with a ferocious wit. Together they are part of an elite grou p of women\, nicknamed Donut Dollies\, who command military buses called C lubmobiles at the front line\, providing camaraderie and a taste of home t hat may be the only solace before troops head into battle. Taking as inspi ration his mother's own Red Cross service\, Luis Alberto Urrea has deliver ed an overlooked story of women's heroism in World War II. With its affect ing and uplifting portrait of friendship and valor in harrowing circumstan ces\, \;Good Night\, Irene \;powerfully demonstrates yet again that Urrea's "gifts as a storyteller are prodigious" (NPR).
