Synposis
From the author that brought you titles, The Nightingale and The Great Alone, Kristin Hannah brings another FIVE STAR book to readers. This time, Hannah tells the story about the women in Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
Frankie is our FMC and comes from a family of war heroes, her older brother, included. Frankie wants to follow in her big brother’s foot steps and with a degree in nursing, she volunteers for the Army Nurse Corp to serve alongside her brother in Vietnam.
The entire story is told from Frankie’s perspective, including her time as a combat nurse. Frankie feels her place is within nursing and finds lifelong friendships while serving in Vietnam. What she never expected was the trauma and aftermath that would follow her home once she left and returned to the divided America.
We watch Frankie cope with returning from war, how to manages her relationships and how she finds purpose in supporting other women of the Vietnam War.
I will not be providing Tropes as my followers have expressed they prefer not to have the tropes revealed prior to reading a book.
