A Forgotten War. An Unforgettable Woman.

In The Women, bestselling author Kristin Hannah shines a brilliant light on the untold stories of the women who served in the Vietnam War. This gripping, emotional novel follows Frances “Frankie” McGrath, a young nursing student who trades the safety of home for the chaos of the front lines. Driven by courage—and a desperate need to belong—Frankie enlists as an Army nurse and is quickly immersed in a world of pain, loss, and survival.

But when she returns home, Frankie discovers a different kind of war: silence, shame, and a nation unwilling to acknowledge the sacrifices made by the women who served. As she battles PTSD, public indifference, and personal betrayal, Frankie must fight for her own voice—and for the recognition she and countless others deserve.
