Dowdy's books always have a wonderful message and a strong Christian thread which makes them a delight to read. I look forward to read her newest release in this series.
I think I’ve read this book before -it seemed familiar. But I enjoyed the story of Deborah and Dr. Washington. They had always been friend, and a little bit of family drama was a current issue for them. I wouldn’t want to be in Deborah’s predicament. Follow your heart or is this right or wrong. In the historical setting, this was likely socially acceptable.
Truly a beautiful story of courage and inspiration, A compellingly sweet tale of family and trusting in God's promises for tomorrow. One young woman's desire to go to college, A man who manages to get a new beginning after tragedy. This inspiring story by a incredible author is a joy to read.
Excellent book regarding situations beyond their control, but in the end everything, worked out. I would recommend this book for others to read. Ms. Dowdy did an excellent writing this gem!
I enjoyed reading The Doctor’s Bride. I love how it all came together in the in end. I recommend reading this clean wholesome inspirational book about forgiveness and love.Thank you Kindle for the free book .
I read this book in one setting! Enjoyed meeting these characters and remembering the power of true love. The characters are down to earth and true believers.
This story was sweet and captivating. It didn't feel rushed, but I like the characters so much, I wish this was a novel! I'm looking forward to the next book.

My Thoughts
'The Doctor's Bride' was an exciting read of how Deborah and Timothy finally got together after it seemed like her twin sister had something to do with that. Now, to get the whole story of what had happened, once Deborah and Timothy had been friends, it seemed like something had come between them. To find out what that was all about, you must read the novella to see what can happen when the enemy comes in. All that is left to say is when something is for you, our God will give it all to you and more, as what happened to Deborah.
