About the author

Lori Copeland was born on 12 June 1941. She had a relatively late start in writing, breaking into publishing in 1982 when she was already forty years old. Over the next dozen years, her romance novels achieved much success, as was evidenced by her winning the Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award, The Holt Medallion, and Walden Books' Best Seller award. She has been inducted into the Missouri Writers Hall of Fame.

Despite her success in more mainstream romantic fiction, in 1995, she decided to switch focus. Her subsequent books have been in the relatively new subgenre of Christian romance. She has also collaborated with authors Angela Elwell Hunt or Virginia Smith on a series of Christian romance novels.

Lori and her husband of over forty years, Lance, live in Springfield, Missouri, surrounded by the beautiful Ozarks. They have three grown sons, three daughter-in-laws, and six wonderful grandchildren, and two great-granddaughters. She and her husband are very involved in their church, and active in supporting mission work in Mali, West Africa.

Reviews

[Charlene French · Rating 1 out of 5]

Read about three chapters. Didn't like. Didn't finish.

[Debby]

In 1876, in Dignity, MA, April Truitt was helping to peddle a cureall for female complaints after her mother died of complications from having her uterus removed. April no longer trust doctors, not even the new handsome doctor in town, Gray Fuller. Thrown together, the fall in love, but both have other complications to deal with.

Seemed a bit too incongruous in parts - women duelling in Boston, love affairs between "good" girls in 1876? Women being allowed to drive all over unescorted. Reasonably good story line, little overt sex.

I liked the story it just a bit clean and predictable.
