Review: "The Women" by Kristin Hannah

Wow!!! This is one of the best books I have read recently. The subject of the book is difficult and heartrending but one that needs to be recognized.

In 1966, Frankie McGrath is a fresh-faced young girl who has just graduated from nursing school. Her brother has joined the Navy to do his part for the Vietnam War effort and she also wants to join the war effort too, not only to do her part but also to be near him. She joins as a nurse in the army, not realizing the profound effect this decision will have on her for the rest of her life.

This story moved me to tears. The returning men and women were not treated with the respect that they deserved. The author has done a phenomenal job of bringing this painful period in history to light. You won't want to miss this book!
