Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these words, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965, the world is changing, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path.

A great walk through a difficult era
Revisado: 04-28-24
For those of us that grew up during the Vietnam war era, this is definitely a walk that is painful. Yet, we all know if there is much truth in this story.

Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business. Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.

Excellent effort

I'd call this a story about secrets but that would be selling it short. Highly recommend.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 36
For the past year, veteran journalists Anders and Beverly Gyllenhaal traveled more than 25,000 miles across the Americas, chronicling costly experiments, contentious politics, and new technologies to save our beloved birds from the brink of extinction. Through this compelling drama, A Wing and a Prayer offers hope and an urgent call to action: Birds are dying at an unprecedented pace. But there are encouraging breakthroughs across the hemisphere and still time to change course, if we act quickly.

Everyone should listen/read this book
Revisado: 06-06-23
Outstanding piece of non-fiction! Even tho I live in Raleigh (surrounded by birds) and backpack extensively, I probably would not have taken this up were it not for my book club. So very pleased it was suggested and I plan to gift and/or recommend it to others. 5 stars!

Riveting Love Story
Revisado: 01-15-20
Last year my book club selected Teatime for the Firefly by Shona Patel. After reading her first book, I purchased Flame Tree Road because I could not wait to read 'the back story.' I was not disappointed - it was quite the bittersweet love story of how Layla (from Teatime for the Firefly) actually came to be the young girl 'born under an unlucky star.' Determination, education and hard times are also strong themes of this beautiful prequel.
It was my great privilege to spend a couple of hours with the author earlier this month. My knowledge of Assam tea increased dramatically - as did my admiration for the writer. Shona Patel shared much of her research with our book club - the people she interviewed and the locales she was quite familiar with. Getting to see a bit of the creative process from her perspective was enlightening - she clearly knows the world of which she writes. I am looking forward to a third book about this fascinating culture and the family she writes about - the diverse people of India, the changes in India since colonialism and how tea has driven the economy of this area of the country. I highly recommend both books!
