Another good story from Jim Kraus. This one deals with a woman in the 1840s through 1850s becoming a doctor. You can just imagine everything she endures in that time and age being a doctor. I thoroughly enjoyed her story. Well told. This is the third of four books not book #4. Goodreads got this book title wrong. Book 4 ends this series and it should be a good one.

Love this series. Peaked my interest in learning more about who the first woman doctor was. Based in 1800s, story of four friends who meet at Harvard and their subsequent lives.-Hannah's perspective in book 3
