After The Nightingale and The Four Winds, beloved Kristin Hannah returns with a sensitive portrait of coming of age in dangerous times and an epic tale of a nation's divide.
Women can be heroes. When nursing student Frances "Frankie" McGrath hears these words, something changes inside her. Growing up in the sunny, idyllic world of Southern California, in the sheltered environment created by her conservative parents, she always felt proud of doing the right thing. But in 1965 the world is changing. When her brother leaves to serve in Vietnam, she voluntarily enlists in the Army Nurse Corps. Unprepared and inexperienced, Frankie faces chaos and destruction. Every day is a battle of life or death, hope or betrayal.
But the war is only the beginning for Frankie and her veteran friends. The true battle awaits them back home, in a changed and divided America that wants to forget.
Women is the story of a woman who went to war, but it also illuminates the stories of all the women who choose to join the fight and whose sacrifices and dedication to their country are often forgotten.
A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism, featuring a heroine whose idealism and courage will define an entire era.
