Join us at Healdton Community Library for a monthly book club on Monday, May 12th at 5:30 PM. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on a popular book title for adults to discuss. This month’s book, “The Women” by Kristin Hannah will be featured.
Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath learns this in 1965, it sparks a new vision for her life. Raised in sheltered Southern California, she joins the Army Nurse Corps after her brother heads to Vietnam. Overwhelmed by the chaos of war, Frankie faces daily struggles of life and death while forming deep friendships that can fracture in an instant. Her journey through the battlefield is only the beginning; the real fight lies in returning home to a divided America and a society eager to forget Vietnam.
This Summer Reading Program is supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oklahoma Department of Libraries.
Participants are encouraged to check out the book by visiting the Healdton Community Library at 554 South 4th Street in Healdton or call (580) 229-0590. The Healdton Community Library is a branch of the Southern Oklahoma Library System.
