About the book
In 1965, twenty-year-old nursing student Frances McGrath, known as Frankie, hears that women can be heroes, and it is a revelation to her. Raised in California and sheltered by conservative parents, she has always tried to do the right thing, but when her brother ships out to Vietnam she signs up for the Army Nurse Corps to follow him. Kristin Hannah's novel places the inexperienced Frankie amid the chaos of the war. Hannah drew on memoirs by nurses who served there, and the book debuted in first place on the New York Times fiction list.
Bill Gates, in his summer 2024 recommendations, called it a beautifully written tribute to veterans whose huge sacrifices deserve more appreciation.
