The Vietnam War left scars that never fully healed—especially for the women who served but came home to find their sacrifices erased from the national narrative. In this deeply moving episode, we dive into Kristin Hannah's masterpiece "The Women," exploring how one nurse's journey from battlefield to home front illuminates a forgotten chapter of American history. This will be our final episode until June as we take a brief hiatus for wedding planning and work commitments, but we'll return this summer refreshed and ready for more literary adventures. In the meantime, connect with us on Instagram or Fable to share your thoughts on "The Women" and what books we should feature when we return!
