Weed Memorial & Hollander Branch Book Discussion via Zoom: The Women by Kristin Hannah

The Women by Kristin Hannah

Raised in California and sheltered by her conservative parents, Frankie McGrath has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965, the world is changing, and she imagines a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows in his path.

There Frankie is over-whelmed by the chaos and destruction of war. But war is just the beginning for Frankie and her veteran friends. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America and to a country that wants to forget Vietnam.

The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on all women whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten.
