This month we will discuss the novel, The Women by Kristin Hannah. TBBS Book #DB118896, listening time, 15 hours. RSVP to Melissa at: (847) 510-2060. Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these words, it is a revelation. Raised by conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965, the world is changing & she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps & follows his path. As green & inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overcome by the chaos & destruction of war. But war is just the beginning for Frankie & her veteran friends. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed & divided America, to angry protesters, & to a country that wants to forget Vietnam. The Women is about deep friendships & bold patriotism, with a memorable heroine whose idealism & courage under fire will come to define an era.
RSVP to Melissa at: (847) 510-2060.
