WOW Book Club
2025-06-26 13:00 - 15:00 | Joney Cafe, Shaker House Building, 17700 W. Capital Drive, Suite 20, #3, Brookfield, WI
For the month of June, we are reading The Women by Kristin Hannah. An intimate portrait of a coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation divided. “Women can be heroes.” When 24 year old nursing student Frankie McGrath hears those words it is a revelation. In 1965, the world was changing, and she joined the Army Nurse Corps and went to Vietnam. Frankie was overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war. This is the story of one woman gone to war, but 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.
We always welcome new members! Join every 4th Thursday of the month or only on occasion. Food and drink can be purchased at the restaurant. There’s always good fellowship. No RSVP needed, but feel free to contact Sue at sue.siewert55@gmail.com or 414-813-0091.
