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.</span></p><p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Poppins, sans-serif;">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.</span></p><p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Poppins, sans-serif;">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.</span></p><p><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Poppins, sans-serif;"><i>The Women&nbsp;</i>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,&nbsp;<i>The Women&nbsp;</i>is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era.</span></p><h3><span style="background-color:hsl(0,0%,100%);color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Poppins, sans-serif;">Reading Guide for <i>The Women</i> by Kristin Hannah.&nbsp;</span></h3><h2><span style="background-color:hsl(0,0%,100%);color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Poppins, sans-serif;">The Perfect Pairings!</span></h2><p><img data-ot-ignore src="https://storage.googleapis.com/strapi-images-bookfinity-prod/PP_WEB_yellow_cocktail_18f0723319/PP_WEB_yellow_cocktail_18f0723319.png" alt="PP_WEB_yellow cocktail.png" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/strapi-images-bookfinity-prod/thumbnail_PP_WEB_yellow_cocktail_18f0723319/thumbnail_PP_WEB_yellow_cocktail_18f0723319.png 245w,https://storage.googleapis.com/strapi-images-bookfinity-prod/small_PP_WEB_yellow_cocktail_18f0723319/small_PP_WEB_yellow_cocktail_18f0723319.png 500w,https://storage.googleapis.com/strapi-images-bookfinity-prod/medium_PP_WEB_yellow_cocktail_18f0723319/medium_PP_WEB_yellow_cocktail_18f0723319.png 750w,https://storage.googleapis.com/strapi-images-bookfinity-prod/large_PP_WEB_yellow_cocktail_18f0723319/large_PP_WEB_yellow_cocktail_18f0723319.png 1000w," sizes="100vw"></p><h3><span style="font-family:Poppins, sans-serif;">Cocktail Pairing: </span><a href="https://www.thekitchn.com/old-fashioned-recipe-23690466" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-family:Poppins, sans-serif;">Old Fashion</span></a><span style="font-family:Poppins, sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></h3><p><span style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Poppins, sans-serif;">Travel back to the 1960’s with these classic cocktails.
