Written with humor and candor, "So, What's a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This?" describes the experiences of a young girl working for U. S. Army Special Services in Korea in 1964, eleven years after a war, and VietNam in 1967 during the war. Dr. Davis witnessed the best and worst of human nature. She was the belle of the ball in Korea, but barely escaped a stalker, faced a soldier who broke into her hootch in VietNam, survived routine mortar attacks, chopper flights, and getting kicked out of the 1st Infantry Division. She met generals, political dignitaries and a future president of the Philippines, but her best memories are of the young brave, polite, fun-loving and appreciative soldiers to whom she pays tribute. For them she would do it all again.
