my god, Kristin Hannah does it again - rips my heart out and pieces it back together over and over. it’ll take me a long time to forget Frankie, the Vietnam War nurse who saw such trauma and for whom healing was dark and full of gaslighting. the account of the Vietnam War itself was so, so enlightening as i didn’t yet understand the complexities as it relates to the political climate that existed. i am in awe of the veterans mentioned in KH’s acknowledgements for their service, what they saw, and what they continue to endure.
