The Women by Kristin Hannah with Sarah Glover
Hello Libration Nation, this week we are discussing The Women by Kristin Hannah. The Women is a powerful, heart-wrenching novel that follows a young nurse, Frankie McGrath, as she volunteers to serve in the Vietnam War — a world of violence, loss, and unspoken heroism. Through her journey, Hannah shines a light on the often overlooked stories of the women who fought, served, and survived, both overseas and at home.
My guest this week is my friend and neighbor, Sarah Glover. Sarah is a teacher by day, mom 24/7. Baker of cookies and sarcasm. Fueled by coffee, true crime, and dark humor. Probably judging your grammar while reading murder mysteries.
Our drink this week was Cut Water Mai Tais! In the book while on R&R Frankie and her friends cut loose with this refreshing, fruity rum drink, so Sarah and I decided to as well!
My plug for this week is that it’s Independent Bookstore Day this coming Saturday April 26th. Please make an effort to support your local shop by visiting them in person or shopping online or through Bookshop.org Here in Richmond you can visit nine participating shops for a chance to earn a $50 gift card. Start at any of the nine participating stores and they will give you a Passport and your first stamp. First day is April 26th. You have until May 10th to get all nine.
