An Air Force nurse about to leave the service is badly disfigured about her face in a vehicle accident in whcih she also looses her baby. Her husband cannot deal with her disfigurement and she goes through a depression wondering why she was kept alive. The drunk driver who ploughed into her vehicle is let off with a really lneient punishment, too. A doctor at the hosiptal sees potential in reconstructing this nurses face. This doctor extends her enlistment so this nurse will be eliigble for medical treatment covered by the armed forces over the entire course of the reconstructive surgeries. In the course of the reconstruction, the doctor and the nurse must overcome sveeral obstacles.
These range from the personal, where the nurse wondres if the doctor is only doing this for his own fame, to the bureaucracy, which has issues with the use of labial tissue from the vaginal area to reconstruct the nurses lips.
All through her treatment the nruse continues her duties at the hospital when she is well enough to work. She bferiends a blinded patient while her jaws are wired shut. She is so afarid that he will not like her when he regains he sight.
He does not and thanks his Silent Angel for the care she has gievn him. This boosts her morale greatly.
In the end the nurse makes a full recovrey. When her enlistment ends she joins the doctor in the private practice he has set up after leaving the Air Force. They marry.
