SUMMARY:Book Club Discussion: Kristin Hannah's The Women
DESCRIPTION:Come join the library book club as they discuss Kristin Hannah’s novel The Women.  From the author’s website:\n—– \n“Women can be heroes\, too.” \nWhen twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these unexpected words\, it is a revelation. Raised on 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 choice for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam\, she impulsively joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. \nAs green and inexperienced as the 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 and politically divided America. \nThe Women is the story of one woman gone to war\, but it shines a light on the story of all women who put themselves in harm’s way to help others. Women whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has all too often been forgotten. A novel of searing insight and lyric beauty\, The Women is a profoundly emotional\, richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose extraordinary idealism and courage under fire define a generation.
