The Women by Kristin Hannah

 


A stirring and meaningful story of a young nurse trained on the battlefield of Vietnam, a grueling, horrifying place to be during the Vietnam War. Frankie (Frances) Macgrath transforms from a naive, sheltered, rich girl into a capable, caring professional plagued by the horrors she witnesses and shunned by her family and society when she returns home. 

As a person who remembers the bad treatment of Vietnam vets, this story brought my memories back full force. I could not put the book down.
