at first i wasn’t sure i was a fan of the writing style, but with every page i was more engrossed in this book. the lives of frankie and the women, feel so real. and in a way i suppose they are, real tidbits of real women who bravely chose to support their country. this book kept me up at night. thinking of the things that they must have seen. feeling so deeply how it changed their lives and how the adjustment in to civilization must have been so isolating. i have so many thoughts. so many feelings. it was profound in a way that i will think of this book, and the way it opened my eyes to all veterans (especially Vietnam) for years to come and how i will never forget to be compassionate to those involved.

THERE WERE WOMEN IN VIETNAM

🤍

the sacrifices of the rossignol sisters, both isabell and vianne in their own ways, was a beautiful story of bravery and strength in the darkest hours. a reminder that we are capable of more than we can imagine.
