Shadow Of the Mountains

Description

She faces two enemies – superstition and greed…

Cheney Duvall has proved herself as a true doctor to those 200 brides with whom she traveled to the West. But arrival in Seattle with a string of medical successes during the voyage does not open any doors for her in this frontier town – she’s “just a woman.” Returning to the East, she finds an invitation to a remote spot in the Ozark mountains where there are no doctors at all. But she runs into walls of illiteracy, superstition, and immovable distrust of Yankees – most especially focused on an “edjicated female thinks she’s a real doc.” How will she overcome centuries of hate and mistrust?

Book 2 in The Cheney Duvall, M D Series.

Author

Lynn Morris, daughter of popular historical novelist Gilbert Morris, has become a recognised and talented writer in her own right. The first novel in this eight-book series was originally published in 1994, and it was an immediate bestseller (almost half-a million combined sales of the eight novels in the series). The author’s careful background explorations of the setting, medical customs of the late 1800s, and those institutions finally being opened to women, make for intriguing plots for the memorable character of Cheney.
