Set during the turbulent 1960s, the novel follows Frances "Frankie" McGrath, a twenty-year-old nursing student from Coronado Island, California, who joins the U.S. Army Nurse Corps to serve alongside her brother in Vietnam. Overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, Frankie must also navigate the trauma of returning home to a politically divided America that has little recognition for the women who served.

The Women is both an intimate coming-of-age portrait and an epic tale of a nation divided by war. It honors the female veterans and nurses whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has all too often been forgotten. Kristin Hannah is also the author of The Nightingale and The Four Winds.
