Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances 'Frankie' McGrath hears these words\, it is a reve lation. 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 su ddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother s hips 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 over-whelmed 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 beginni ng for Frankie and her veteran friends. The real battle lies in coming hom e to a changed and divided America\, to angry protesters\, and to a countr y that wants to forget Vietnam. The Women is the story of one woman gone t o war\, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm&rsqu o\;s way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. \;
