From the publisher:
Women can be heroes. When twenty-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath hears these unexpected words, it is a revelation. Raised on idyllic Coronado Island and sheltered by her conservative parents, she has always prided herself on doing the right thing, being a good girl. But in 1965 the world is changing, and she suddenly imagines a different choice for her life. When her brother ships out to serve in Vietnam, she impulsively joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. As green and inexperienced as the men sent to Vietnam to fight, Frankie is overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, as well as the unexpected trauma of coming home to a changed and politically divided America.

Pollination is how plants reproduce, and the process of pollination operates either through wind or by insects. Insect pollinators are very diverse and crucial kinds of organisms. All ages welcome!

Intersecting Lives is an entomology series that brings bugs into the light, as the agents of agriculture, sculptors of history, weapons, and art. Presented by Robert Wiedenmann, PhD., retired professor of entomology. All ages are welcome.
Upcoming Intersecting Lives Programs:
The Silken Thread: Five Insects and Their Impacts on Human History 7/16 @ 10:30am
Some of the history we never learned in school involves how insects have affected human history and have done so in ways that might be surprising. Silk, the Silk Roads and the Silk Moth; All Because of a Mosquito; Revisiting the Plague and the Black Death; The Flight of the Bumble Bee
Insects as Weapons 8/10 @ 1:30pm
Long before gunpowder reached the West, insects were used throughout the world as weapons. In ancient times, insects were weaponized both for attacking castles and defending them, but the use of insect weapons continued even in modern wars. Even diseases caused by insects were used as weapons.
Insects and Art 9/24 @10:30am
Insects have been part of or behind a variety of kinds of art, from the rock art of aborigines more than 20,000 years old, to the cartoons of Gary Larson and modern tattoos. Vincent van Gogh and Salvador Dali depicted insects in their paintings. Several kids of insects have produced paintings and jewelry, and they have been used in art themselves, from steampunk beetles to an art piece that sold for nearly $3 million a decade ago. You’ll see beetles and butterflies in a new light!
