She was just a girl when she left—young, idealistic, aching to matter.
The war was far away. Until it wasn’t. When Frances “Frankie” McGrath volunteers to serve during a time when women were expected to stay silent, stay pretty, stay home, she steps into a world that doesn’t know what to do with someone like her. A woman in a place meant for men. A warzone wrapped in lies. A history no one wants to remember. The jungles of Vietnam echo with secrets—some she witnesses, others she becomes part of. And when the dust settles, when the uniforms come off, the battle doesn’t end. Back home, nothing is the same.
Not the people. Not the country. Not her. Now, haunted by what she can’t forget and silenced by those who refuse to hear, Frankie must decide: will she vanish into the quiet, or will she find her voice in a world that’s desperate to pretend she never existed? Because sometimes the most dangerous battles… are the ones no one sees.
