Francine Howard plans to marry her high school sweetheart
when WWII ends. Her world comes crashing down when he writes that he's bringing
home an English bride.
She applies for training as a nurse midwife in the Appalachian Mountains . Perhaps she'll find a purpose for
her life helping others.
Ben Locke's desire to see his Kentucky
He's mountain, and she isn't. Can they bridge the gap between
their differences or are they too great?
This book captured my attention and never let go. Maybe it
was the unique setting, the interesting cultural facts, or the quiet strength
of the mountain people that drew me into their story. Whatever it was, I wished
there was a sequel to this tale.
Ann Gabhart did a magnificent job with her research and
character development. I hope she writes more stories along these lines.
Five Stars!
