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.

Historia
Aleen Cust has big dreams. And no one―not her family, society, or the law―will stop her. Born in Ireland in 1868 to an aristocratic English family, Aleen knows she is destined to work with animals, even if her family is appalled by the idea of a woman pursuing a veterinary career. Going against their wishes but with the encouragement of the guardian assigned to her upon her father’s death, Aleen attends the New Veterinary College in Edinburgh, enrolling as A. I. Custance to spare her family the humiliation they fear.

Enjoyed Thoroughly
Revisado: 03-31-23
The story of Miss Cust is one that even as a woman in the "modern era" I felt a connection with. So many strong women have paved the way for women in the workforce but there is still so much to be done and undone. I highly recommend giving it a read.

Historia
Daisy is a girl coming of age in LA in the late '60s, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock and roll she loves most. By the time she’s 20, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things. Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne.

Akin to "Behind the Music"
Revisado: 03-31-23
I enjoyed the different narrators for each person, it made the story feel akin to "Behind the Music".
Not a must read or one that I will read again but I did very much enjoy my time listening to this book.

As England prepares to fight the Nazis, three very different women answer the call to mysterious country estate Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train to break German military codes. Vivacious debutante Osla is the girl who has everything - beauty, wealth, and the dashing Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses - but she burns to prove herself as more than a society girl, and puts her fluent German to use as a translator of decoded enemy secrets.

Interesting Side of WWII History
Revisado: 11-23-22
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it kept me engaged the whole time! I’ve read a lot of historical fiction about WWII and am always happy to learn about different contributions (especially female contributions). This book was a stand out for me! I listened to it fully on audible and the narration was fantastic.

10/10 would recommend
Revisado: 07-18-22
A sad but must read story. It sheds a light on the awful history and even the current state of how women’s bodies are not their own, especially if they are poor, mentally disabled, or a person of color.

Historia
Nora Krug was born decades after the fall of the Nazi regime, but the Second World War cast a long shadow throughout her childhood and youth in the city of Karlsruhe, Germany. For Nora, the simple fact of her German citizenship bound her to the Holocaust and its unspeakable atrocities and left her without a sense of cultural belonging. Yet Nora knew little about her own family’s involvement in the war: Though all four grandparents lived through the war, they never spoke of it.

Loved but not ideal for strictly audio listeners
Revisado: 05-25-22
The book is fantastic! As someone of German heritage I appreciated the journey of discovery and the "Things German" sections. I always listen to audio books while I read along with the physical book because of my learning style. BUT if you are going to strictly listen to the audio book you won't get to experience the book as intended. The illustrations are so beautiful and help tell the story in such a unique way. I enjoyed it greatly!

Historia
Texas, 1921. A time of abundance. The Great War is over, the bounty of the land is plentiful, and America is on the brink of a new and optimistic era. But for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli. By 1934, the world has changed; millions are out of work and drought has devastated the Great Plains. Elsa must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west, to California, in search of a better life for her family.

Historia
Against all odds, three Slovakian sisters have survived years of imprisonment in the most notorious death camp in Nazi Germany: Auschwitz. Livia, Magda, and Cibi have clung together, nearly died from starvation and overwork, and the brutal whims of the guards in this place of horror. But now, the allies are closing in and the sisters have one last hurdle to face: the death march from Auschwitz, as the Nazis try to erase any evidence of the prisoners held there. Due to a last minute stroke of luck, the three of them are able to escape formation and hide in the woods for days.

A MUST READ
Revisado: 03-25-22
I appreciated so much getting to learn the story of these brave and resilient sisters. This story as well as The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey are all extremely important stories to read and understand. I thank Heather Morris for giving these important stories a platform in which they could be shared.

In her first work of nonfiction, the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood recounts her experiences on Gilmore Girls - the first and second times - and shares stories about life, love, and working in Hollywood. This collection of essays is written in the intimate, hilarious, and down-to-earth voice that made her novel, Someday, Someday, Maybe, a New York Times best seller.

Barely about Gilmore Girls
Revisado: 03-17-22
Ahh man this book was disappointing. Because the book title says “from Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls” I went into it assuming that this book was going to be 90% about her experience on Gilmore Girls but it was only about 10% about Gilmore Girls. It is mostly about Lauren’s life in acting, which is fine if you aren’t expecting something completely different. I struggled to finish it. You can pass on it unless you are a huge fan of Lauren Graham.

Historia
Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

Favorite book I’ve ever read
Revisado: 03-01-22
I read and also listened to this book and it is such a fantastic story. I find myself trying to subtly find a way to tell everyone I know about it! Being raised a fundamental Christian I relate so much to the story specifically in importance of finding your own reality apart from what you were indoctrinated with as a child. Even if mine and Tara’s circumstances are not exact same, they are similar enough that I felt seen after reading this book.
