Against the World is a door opening into the 1970s and the lives of four nursing students trying to broaden their beliefs, expand their horizons, and pave the way for their future nursing careers. Their quest is not only to survive the rigors of nursing school, but the chaotic times in which they live. Amidst the challenges of domestic violence, physical abuse, sexism, and racial tensions these young women find acceptance, tolerance, enlightenment, and awakening as not young girls, but blossoming women.
