Yay for the cover up of nurses serving in Vietnam nay for two douchebags resurrecting from the dead
This book… it wrecked me and educated me, made me cry and get emotional, but most of all get angry for women like Frankie, who served their country, saved countless lives by putting their own on the line, enduring the most uncomfortable living situation and trauma, suffering endlessly in the aftermath of the war without any help from the Army or the country that sent them there. The women were bereft of acknowledgment of their sacrifice, being told over and over “there were no women in Vietnam”, and left to deal with the heavy PTSD symptoms that plagued their lives. At times, Frankie’s behavior made me so frustrated but I desperately wanted her to get the happy ending she so deserved. As a non-American, I didn’t know much about the Vietnam war and am glad to have been educated by Hannah’s beautiful writing and telling of this story. The friendship between Frankie, Barb, and Ethel was to me one of the most beautiful parts of this story, as well as the growth trajectory of Frankie’s parents. To sum it all up - go read this beautiful, devastating story of these kick-ass women!
Five stars is not enough for Kristin Hannah nor Julia Whelan. This book was incredible and heartbreaking.
