When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances "Frankie" McGrath hears these words, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965, the world is changing, and 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 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. Each day is a gamble of life and death, hope and betrayal; friendships run deep and can be shattered in an instant. In war, she meets -- and becomes one of -- the lucky, the brave, the broken, and the lost. But war is just the beginning for Frankie and her veteran friends. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America, to angry protesters, and to a country that wants to forget Vietnam. The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm's way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era. -- Provided by publisher. 001488583 650_0 $$aNurses$$vFiction. 001488583 650_0 $$aYoung women$$vFiction. 001488583 650_0 $$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$$vFiction. 001488583 650_0 $$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$$xWomen$$vFiction. 001488583 650_0 $$aVeterans$$vFiction. 001488583 650_0 $$aPsychic trauma$$vFiction. 001488583 650_7 $$aRomans.$$2rvmgf 001488583 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xArmed Forces$$xNurses$$vFiction. 001488583 651_7 $$aUnited States$$xArmed forces$$vFiction.$$2sears 001488583 655_7 $$aNovels.$$2fast 001488583 655_7 $$aHistorical fiction.$$2gsafd 001488583 655_7 $$aPsychological fiction.$$2gsafd 001488583 655_7 $$aWar stories.$$2gsafd 001488583 655_7 $$aHistorical fiction.$$2lcgft 001488583 655_7 $$aWar fiction.$$2lcgft 001488583 655_7 $$aPsychological fiction.$$2lcgft 001488583 655_7 $$aNovels.$$2lcgft 001488583 655_7 $$aRomans.$$2rvmgf 001488583 852__ $$bgen 001488583 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1488583$$pGLOBAL_SET 001488583 980__ $$aBIB 001488583 980__ $$aBOOK 001488583 980__ $$aNPR 001488583 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
