Resumen del Editor
"Meticulously researched and beautifully written. The story of a life well lived." –KATHLEEN GRISSOM, NY Times Bestselling author of The Kitchen House
Steeped in rich historical detail, Dr. Eliza Edwards, the ingénue student in The Unlocked Path, becomes the mature mentor, steadfast in her calling to effect social change by addressing women’s health issues and guiding others to realize their dreams. In 1936, as the Depression ravages careers, Eliza re-defines her abilities, traveling to Georgia and Tennessee as she reclaims her purpose and rediscovers her ambitions.
Returning to Boston, she endures heartbreak with the eruption of World War II, bringing chaos to the world and sending her sons into battle. Will her unyielding pursuit to limit suffering and save lives sustain her amid the tumultuous landscapes of 1930s and 1940s America?

Historia
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

Wonderful sequel
For me, a really good book is one that I not only enjoy reading but leaves me thinking about it for some time afterward. If I learn some history along the way, so much the better. Janis Robinson Daly’s debut novel, The Unlocked Path, definitely met these criteria and I eagerly awaited the sequel; The Path Beneath Her Feet did not disappoint. I loved this second book even more than the first. It is beautifully written and demonstrates both the author’s growth as a writer and her emotional intelligence. Her thorough research is also evident throughout the book. One only has to read the lengthy list of resources and Acknowledgements to confirm this.
The Path Beneath Her Feet begins sixteen years after the end of The Unlocked Path. Eliza and her close friend and partner, Olga, are forced to close the practice they opened in 1920 because it was no longer feasible to continue in the economic climate of 1936. While Olga had secured other employment, Eliza’s attempts to obtain a position were more difficult as she faced the same kind of sexism, even misogyny, she had encountered since her medical school days. But opportunities, some unexpected, do come her way allowing her to continue to serve those who needed her most. One of the things I love most about good historical fiction is not only a well-written story, but also learning about people and events of which I had little or no knowledge previously. Two examples were the existence of the American Women’s Hospital organization, an organization that gave Eliza the opportunity to provide essential medical care in communities in the eastern Tennessee region of Appalachia, and the devastating fire at Cocoanut Grove nightclub in Boston in 1942.
The book recounts eleven years of Eliza’s life beginning with the significant struggles during the Depression, the US involvement in WWII, and ending in 1947. The two books span Eliza’s amazing journey from a young woman in her teens to an older woman in her late sixties. During the war, Eliza’s sons, who were young children in The Unlocked Path, were now serving in the US military. It was the things that resonated with me that I found most compelling. I remember family stories of WWII, stories of the anxiety experienced when a loved one was serving overseas at a time when communication was limited to letters that often took months to arrive. There was so much happening in Eliza’s personal and professional life, but I never felt that the story was overly complicated. I found this book to be historical fiction at its best; a novel that was not just set in an historical period, but one in which historical events and real characters were an integral part of the story. At the same time, some of the issues addressed in both books, always in a non-preachy way - misogyny, racism, social injustice, women’s access to health care, and coping with aging family members are just as relevant today. Books like this are important reminders of how far we have come since Eliza’s time, but how sometimes very little has changed. I loved Eliza for her spunk, determination, intolerance of any kind of prejudice, dedication to her family, and overall decency. The origin of the title is explained in the author’s acknowledgments. It was inspired by a keynote address she heard that was given by fellow author Libbie Grant (Olivia Hawker). How perfectly this quote describes the path of Eliza’s life:
“Sometimes the path doesn’t even exist until you begin walking. But if you keep moving forward, if you take whatever next step presents itself to YOU, by and by you’ll discover a path is creating itself beneath your feet.”
Lara Terco’s is a new narrator for me. Her interpretation of The Path Beneath Her Feet is excellent, a perfect complement to the book. I love a narrator whose range of voice and emotions, plus tuneful singing, makes me feel like I am listening to a radio play with multiple actors.

Dynamic of Tension and Tenderness
Love and pain coexist with familial bonds and the author captured it so well. Beautifully crafted novel that offers so much emotion and insight. She captures truth in self-discovery and the power of transformational love. Beautiful, well written story coupled with the best narration. Loved the various accents AND SINGING that brought it all together.

5 stars!
The Path Beneath Her Feet by Janis Robinson Daly is the sequel to The Unlocked Path, which I loved. This historical fiction novel is based on the author’s own family, specifically her great-great-grandfather, who helped establish the Women’s Medical College in Philadelphia. True to Daly’s style, the book centers on themes of female empowerment, resilience, and self-discovery.
Set in the 1930s, the novel follows Dr. Eliza Edwards, a real historical figure, as she defies the societal norms and expectations placed on women of that era. Daly emphasizes the importance of these women's stories, saying, “their stories needed to be heard.” I love reading about real women who break away from society's constraints, and in this case, women who used education to carve out their independence in a male-dominated world.
Character-driven and rich with strong female protagonists, the story highlights how perseverance and inner strength allowed women like Dr. Edwards to challenge the status quo in the medical field. These trailblazers played a crucial role in shaping the fight for women's rights as we know them today.
One of the best narrators I have ever listened to! Thank you, Janis Robinson Daly, for providing me with an audio copy of your newest novel for my honest review. As always, this is a 5-star read! I highly recommend it to anyone interested in historical fiction that highlights the women who paved the way for the future we know today.
