Frankis is a girl from the right side of the tracks. When her brother enlists and is sent to Vietnam, she studies hard and becomes a nurse. She joins the Army Nurse Corp and finds herself in a hospital in-country. She learns that war takes all you love and you must figure out how to move forward.
The Women is the heartfely story of the nurses who were in Vietnam and took care of the soldiers who saw battle. Frankie's story is told so thoughtfully and respectfully. The imagery brings you to Vietnam, into the hospital, and down the path Frankie's life takes after returning home. These women were cast aside despite the atrocities they saw in the time they served. Thousands of men are alive thanks to the nurses who enlisted. We owe them all. This story broke my heart and made me aware of women I had no idea had been forgotten by time.
