When Frances “Frankie” McGrath’s brother joins the Navy during Vietnam, she rebels against her conservative parents by impulsively joining the Army Nurse Corps.
Frankie is a nurse, but has always been sheltered and is not prepared for the horrors of Vietnam.
The Army is desperate for nurses and throws Frankie into the deep end right away.
The experienced nurses take her under their wing, but the chaos of war only allows for on the job training.
Frankie grows up quickly and her journey is heartbreaking and inspiring.
Friendships and love affairs are formed in the most trying of circumstances.
After her tours, Frankie finds that returning home has its own set of challenges.
This story is not an easy read; it will break your heart. It was one of the best books that I read this year. Kristin Hannah has written another unforgettable classic.
