When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances \"Frankie\" McGrath hears these words, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965, the world is changing, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war. Each day is a gamble of life and death, hope and betrayal; friendships run deep and can be shattered in an instant. In war, she meets--and becomes one of--the lucky, the brave, the broken, and the lost. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But war is just the beginning for Frankie and her veteran friends. The real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America, to angry protesters, and to a country that wants to forget Vietnam. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm's way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. A novel about deep friendships and bold patriotism, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Long-listed, Amazon.com Best Books of the Year, 2024 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Long-listed, NPR Best Book of the Year, 2024 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Long-listed, Audible.com Best of the Year, 2024 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e New York Times Book Review Notable Books of the Year, 2024 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Long-listed, Barnes and Noble Best New Books of the Year, 2024 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Long-listed, Hudson Booksellers Best of the Year, 2024 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Winner, Goodreads Choice Awards, 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristin Hannah\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MacMillan Audio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.01h x 5.19w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250317964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKRISTIN HANNAH is the #1\u003ci\u003e New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of more than twenty novels, including\u003ci\u003e The Four Winds\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Nightingale \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Great Alone\u003c\/i\u003e.
