“Women can be heroes, too.”
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 is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on the story of all
women who put themselves in harm’s way to help others. Women whose sacrifice and
commitment to their country have all too often been forgotten. A novel of searing insight and lyric
beauty, The Women is a profoundly emotional, richly drawn story with a memorable heroine
whose extraordinary idealism and courage under fire define a generation.
