WOMEN (KRISTIN HANNAH) (PB)

'Women can be heroes, too'. When twenty-year-old nursing student, Frances "Frankie" McGrath, hears these words, it is a revelation. Raised on California's Coronado Island and sheltered by conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different path for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurses Corps and follows his path. Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed America.
