"When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances "Frankie" McGrath hears these unexpected words, it is a revelation. Raised on idyllic Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different choice for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed and politically divided America."--

The Women

Abigail F

I imagine it would feel wonderful to be good at something that mattered. That is something that  too many of the women of my generation didn’t consider.

Love mattered in this ruined world, but so did honor. What was one without the other?

… as a woman, she knew how fragile dreams were…

From now on, all of them would have a deep understandin of both man's cruelty and his heroism.
