‘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.

Dit boek verdient het om gelezen te worden. De vrouwen in dit boek verdienen de erkenning, de tijd en de aandacht. Je hart breekt keer op keer, maar dit verhaal is het waard.

Potentially the easiest five stars I have ever given. I dont know if a book has ever felt this raw and real to me before. And I don't know how one book can hold this much pain, but it does. And it simultaneously holds the most beautiful wisdom of life: women can help each other through anything.

Echt zeer goed boek. Voor iemand die nooit interesse heeft gehad in oorlogen, heb ik het heel snel uitgeluisterd. Ik heb er van geleerd, en ontzettend meegeleefd in het perspectief van Frankie. De voorlezer is ook erg goed.
