Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these words, it is a revelation. Raised in the sun-drenched, idyllic world of Southern California and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing. But in 1965, the world is changing, and she suddenly dares to imagine a different future for herself. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path.

Stellar narration of a beautiful story
Revisado: 08-30-24
My only complaint is that it came to an end. Can we get a sequel, please?! Seriously though, this is a beautiful and heartbreaking story told with the soothing and easy-on-the-ears voice of Julia Whelan. Highly recommend!!

It’s the opening night of The Manor, the newest and hottest luxury resort, and no expense, small or large, has been spared. The infinity pool sparkles; the “Manor Mule” cocktail (grapefruit, ginger, vodka, and a dash of CBD oil) is being poured with a heavy hand. Everyone is wearing linen.

Good performances, weird story elements
Revisado: 08-19-24
Would be a great story if not for the “angry birds”and the weird sacrifice and what-not. Very silly and not believable. But the performances are good and it’s overall a fun, light listen.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 88
Come to Paris, August 2021, when the City of Lights was still empty of tourists and a thirst for long-overdue pleasure gripped those who wandered its streets. After New York City emptied out in March 2020, Glynnis MacNicol, aged forty-six, unmarried with no children, spent sixteen months alone in her tiny Manhattan apartment. The isolation was punishing. A year without touch. Women are warned of invisibility as they age, but this was an extreme loneliness no one can prepare you for. When the opportunity to sublet a friend’s apartment in Paris arose, MacNicol jumped on it.

Insightful, better to read than listen
Revisado: 06-21-24
The author shares some striking and relatable insights about being a single and child-free woman in her late 40s, especially during the pandemic, and the essential and beautiful role that female friendships play in one’s life. Her narration is difficult to listen to, however, especially the butchering of French words and phrases. Nothing ever seems to really happen (though I suppose this is life) and she often veers off on tangents (about women’s genitalia in art, for instance) during which my attention drifted and/or I was tempted to skip ahead. All in all an interesting read but I am not sure I’d recommend this to anyone.

In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to 'bad people'" (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent meaningful cross-racial dialogue.

Required reading for every white American
Revisado: 06-14-20
Groundbreaking. Terrifying. Eye opening. Necessary.
Every white person - white American, mostly - must read this book if we ever hope to transform our society into one that lives up to our stated values of equality and justice for all.
