See the boots she's wearing, Shane? Those are combat boots. Is that YOU, Mimi?The Vietnam War era. A time of seismic shifts in American culture and around the world. Scarcely a life exists today that was not impacted by that war and by the growing pains of societies in transition. Patricia Nix knows this. She lived it. This is the story of her life in that time. How does a young student nurse one day find herself explaining to her fiance that she should ship off to Vietnam in wartime? How do twelve months treating wounded soldiers on the other side of the world affect a girl from Columbus, GA? What experiences changed her view of life, and of its fragility and value? Baptized by Fire shows us.
