The Women

By Kristin Hannah

From the celebrated #1 bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds comes an epic, deeply moving historical novel that shines a long-overdue light on the women who served in the Vietnam War. The story follows Frances “Frankie” McGrath, a naïve, sheltered 20-year-old nursing student raised in an idyllic Southern California home. When her brother ships out to Vietnam, Frankie is inspired by the phrase "women can be heroes" and makes the bold choice to join the Army Nurse Corps.

Unprepared for the chaos, destruction, and heartbreaking realities of combat medicine, Frankie transforms amid the horrors of war, finding deep sisterhood and love among the broken and the brave. Yet, the true battle begins when she returns home to a deeply divided America that wants to forget the war—and refuses to acknowledge that women were even there.
