You can hear the buzzing excitement whenever a new novel is out from KRISTIN

HANNAH. So it is with The Women, her latest, which debuted at #1 on The New York

Times Best Sellers list. The author of The Nightingale and Four Winds has given

us another compelling heroine, young Frances “Frankie” McGrath, who leaves her

sheltered Southern California girlhood to become a combat nurse in Vietnam as

the war rages. Brave in the face of death and heartbreak, she returns to a deeply

divided America that wants to forget everything about Vietnam. In conversation with

JENNY EMERY DAVIDSON, head of The Community Library in Ketchum, Hannah will

talk about The Women and how the idea for the book first captured her.
