This was such a good book. It was well-written and the story just flowed. To imagine that she would leave her family and go to Colorado, a very small town, in the very early 1900's, to recover from TB and to practice her profession. Women weren't to well received as doctors back in those days. Great book and anyone would enjoy it.

I liked this book alot. I thought the doctor was a strong woman and brave. She was a doctor for the right reasons. She believed in her patients and followed the oath," First, do no harm".I wished I could work with more doctors like her.
