Moving right along during my Reading Era this summer ...
Already well-versed in the natural healing properties of herbs and oils, Jennie Pickett longs to become a doctor. But the Oregon frontier of the 1870s doesn't approve of such innovations as women attending medical school. To leave grief and guilt behind, as well as support herself and her challenging young son, Jennie cares for an elderly woman using skills she's developed on her own. When her patient dies, Jennie discovers that her heart has become entangled with the woman's widowed husband, a man many years her senior. Their unlikely romance may lead her to her ultimate goal--but the road will be winding and the way forward will not always be clear. Will Jennie find shelter in life's storms? Will she discover where healing truly lives? (Picture and description at Amazon)
I'm really thinking the next one will for sure be a non-fiction.
Summer is over for me, as the students where I work will be back on Monday. I've been at work for three weeks, but it always still feels like summer because we wear shorts & messy clothes and doesn't really feel like real work. (But trust me, it is! 😏)
What are you reading these days?
