This powerful novel centers on Frances 'Frankie' McGrath, a young nursing student who joins the Army Nurse Corps during the Vietnam War. Following her brother to the front lines, Frankie experiences the chaos and heartbreak of the conflict firsthand, only to return to a country deeply divided and ungrateful for her service. Hannah shines a long-overdue light on the female veterans whose sacrifices were often overlooked. It is a deeply moving tribute to resilience, female friendship, and the heavy price of patriotism.
