“I strongly recommend Z.O.S. A Memoir to any Gen-X or Millennials seeking an understanding of friends and family who survived Vietnam and especially to any women struggling to balance society’s traditional expectations within the context of extreme situations. Kay Merkel Boruff is a survivor, a fighter and an elegant voice whose story is one of strength, resolve and reflects the complexity of a woman’s experience in Vietnam with unyielding truth that will both shock and validate the readers’ own deepest life questions. Read this book if you want to encounter a bold new voice!”
