5. The Women by Kirsten Hannah

Feb 2024

I’ve been looking forward to reading this for a long time, finally came out this past week. I can’t put it down!
It’s about Army nurses in Vietnam. I dated a USMC helicopter pilot for 3 years and became interested in the war. Although that relationship failed, when I was in postgrad school my dream was to go to DC and work for the VA. But I fell in love during my last semester with another veteran and stayed put. He’s been my project ever since, and I chased other dream jobs locally.

Happy Valentine’s Day dear readers! 💗
