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.

Important history told with aplomb
Revisado: 09-08-24
Everyone kept telling me to prepare my tissues, and I stoically told myself I didn’t need to cry, and then as I was walking down the grocery aisle, I was suddenly crying. I don’t want to label this as a sad book because it is more a story of a series of triumphs over tribulations. That in itself stings the eyes because we all have stories that reflect the power of our human spirit.

When Abbi Jacobson announced to friends and acquaintances that she planned to drive across the country alone, she was met with lots of questions and opinions: Why wasn't she going with friends? Wouldn't it be incredibly lonely? The North route is better! Was it safe for a woman? The Southern route is the way to go! You should bring mace! And a common one... why? But Abbi had always found comfort in solitude and needed space to step back and hit the reset button. As she spent time in each city on her way to Los Angeles, she mulled over the big questions: What do I really want?

She gets it
Revisado: 11-24-18
Abbi unfortunately or fortunately experienced one of the things in life that no one can prepare you for - devastating romantic heartbreak. The best part of this book is where she managed to verbalize what I never could when going through it myself and how out of control you feel as pain overrides any situation. When she was on set waiting just a tad too long on the other side of a door and she nearly lost it, yea, I’ve been there.
I thought it clever the subtle ways she weaved her career and family through this journey to recovery and across our country. Being a moody, ungrateful teen to a step-parent is also a burden I share but she memorialized it beautifully.
I would recommend this book to every one who has gone through or is going through a rough transitional period in their life. People don’t realize that it not only takes a lot of courage to do extraordinary things but it also takes a toll.
Congrats, Abbi! And thank you sharing. It took 3 years for me to find love again. Don’t worry, you will too.
