 oo." When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances Frankie McGrath hears th
 ese unexpected words\, it is a revelation. Raised on idyllic Coronado Isla
 nd and sheltered by her conservative parents\, she has always prided herse
 lf 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 Arm
 y 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 destruc
 tion 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 themselv
 es in harm's way to help others. Women whose sacrifice and commitment to t
 heir country has all too often been forgotten. -- Provided by publisher.</
