The Doctor's Lady

The Doctor's Lady is a stand alone historical fiction book by Jody Hedlund. This book travels from Angelica, New York, to the wilderness of the Oregon Territory, where a fine lady must learn the dangers that lurk outside the parlor door.

Lovely Priscilla White could hardly believe the letter she held in her hand. The mission board had declared that she must marry before she could go to India as a missionary. Marriage was hardly an option, thought Priscilla, as the reminder of an empty womb cut deeply to her heart. But when Dr. Eli Earnest who was faced with Priscilla's same problem, comes to town with the desire to open a clinic in Oregon Territory, what will happen?

I would recommend this book to anyone 11 and up because of its dramatic descriptions. I liked this book because, as well as the drama, heartache,and romance, there was the continual reminder that no one is perfect, and we must all lay ourselves before God.
