The July book discussion title is The Women by Kristin Hannah, the story of a sheltered California girl who joins the Army Nurse Corps in 1965 and goes to war. It also shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm’s way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten. A novel about deep friendships and patriotism, The Women is a richly drawn story with a memorable heroine whose idealism and courage under fire will come to define an era.   Monday, July 7th at 11:00 AM OR Wednesday, July 9th at 6:00 PM     We’ll meet in the Library Conference Room on the 2nd floor.
