Join Library Trustee Gemma Tansey for the book discussion of The Women.

The Women, by Kristin Hannah, is about how in 1965, nursing student Frankie McGrath, after hearing the words "Women can be heroes, too," impulsively joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows her brother to Vietnam where she is overwhelmed by the destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed and politically divided America.
