This is a preview of our episode with Kristin Hannah, author of The Women. Our full conversation is available for free in the Book of the Month app. We sit down with 3-peat BOTM author Kristin Hannah to discuss her new book, The Women! We talk about the original inspiration behind the book, the role women played in the Vietnam War, and the importance of engaging with our history. When Frances McGrath's brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. As inexperienced as the men sent to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war. Each day is a gamble of life and death and hope and betrayal. But war is just the beginning; the real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America. Get The Women at bookofthemonth.com.
