‘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.

Some interesting aspects to the novel, particularly the treatment of veterans returning from Vietnam. The romance plot was rather predictable and somewhat unnecessary. Rather than simply repeating the same old story about falling in love, I would have preferred the author to explore the female friendships and camaraderie in more detail.

Så bra bok, upplysande, man blir berörd. Man blir arg, frustrerad sorgsam och finner glädje, den har allt och fantastisk uppläsare. Brukar aldrig sätta 5 stjärnor en bra bok får 3 normalt sett av mig. Men denna är värd 5.

K.H. kan verkligen spela på känslosträngarna. Det är hennes största styrka. Sedan är denna intressant i delen som utspelade sig i Vietnam. Därefter tappade den lite av mitt engagemang. Förutsägbar är den, men jag väntade mig inget annat.
