‘Women can be heroes, too’. When twenty-year-old nursing student, Frances “Frankie” McGrath, hears these unexpected words, it is a revelation. Raised on California’s idyllic Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different path for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurses Corps and follows his path.
As green and inexperienced as the young men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed America. Frankie will also discover the true value of female friendship and the heartbreak that love can cause.

Excellent Author, Outstanding Narrator, Worthy Subject.
I liked the book very much. The main characters were all so special in their own ways & so important to the story. Between the Author & Julia one feels like they are right there in the story every moment. Thank you for enlightening me Kristen on a subject that I knew very little. Thank you for caring about the men & women who were involved in the Vietnam War.

Fascinating insight into the Vietnam war
I had very little understanding of the Vietnam war and found it fascinating. I really enjoyed hearing it from a woman’s perspective. It seems that throughout history so many of the women’s stories have been dismissed. Thank you Kristen for bringing it to light. Very well written and read.

Definitely will be in my top reads of 2024 and probably of all time. This book has left an impact in a way I’m unable to articulate at this time. Well written and narrated, does justice for this piece of history.
