The Ladies A Book

By Abigail Higgins

These words are a revelation for Frances "Frankie" McGrath, a nursing student of twenty years old. She has always taken pride in doing the right thing because she was raised in the sun-drenched, idyllic world of Southern California and was protected by her conservative parents. In any case, in 1965, the world is changing, and she unexpectedly thinks for even a second to envision an alternate future for herself. She joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows in his footsteps when her brother leaves for Vietnam.

As green and unpracticed as the men shipped off Vietnam to battle, Frankie is over-whelmed by the tumult and annihilation of war. Life and death, hope and betrayal are all on the line every day; companionships run profound and can be broken in a moment. She meets the fortunate, brave, broken, and lost during war, and she becomes one of them.

In any case, war is the ideal start for Frankie and her veteran companions. The genuine fight lies in getting back home to a changed and separated America, to furious dissenters, and to a country that needs to fail to remember Vietnam.

The Ladies is the tale of one lady done battle, however it focuses a light on all ladies who put themselves at risk and whose penance and obligation to their nation has time after time been neglected. The Women is a well-written story about strong friendships and brave patriotism. It has a memorable heroine whose idealism and bravery under fire will come to define an era.
