Frances “Frankie” McGrath is a sheltered, idealistic young woman raised in a privileged, conservative household on Coronado Island. When her brother ships off to Vietnam, she shocks everyone—including herself—by joining the Army Nurse Corps to serve in the same war. Thrown into the heart of the conflict, Frankie is unprepared for the chaos and trauma of a field hospital, where she faces unthinkable injuries, emotional turmoil, and the constant presence of death.

As she forms deep bonds with fellow nurses and soldiers, Frankie’s view of the world is transformed. But when she returns home, she finds herself alienated in a divided, ungrateful country that doesn’t recognize the sacrifices of women who served. Battling PTSD, grief, and a sense of betrayal, Frankie must fight for healing, identity, and a future she never imagined.

The Women is a powerful, emotional tribute to the untold stories of female veterans and the resilience of women who risk everything to serve—and survive.
