Publisher's summary

Popular inspirational novelists Lynn Morris and Gilbert Morris pen absorbing plots rich with adventure and historical detail. In this exciting tale, they portray one woman's search for independence and self-expression amid the rigid social expectations of 1865 New York City.

Twenty-four-year-old Cheney Duvall believes she will be taken seriously once she finishes medical school. Months later, however, she still is without a position; no one wants to consult a woman doctor. When she hears of a shipload of hopeful brides-to-be bound for Seattle via the Panama Canal, however, her luck changes. The ship's authorities are eager to have a woman physician on board. But once Cheney meets the 100 women - and her disturbing male nurse assistant - she fears she has gotten in way over her head.

Father-daughter writing team Lynn Morris and Gilbert Morris combine their talents to provide first-class entertainment with nourishment for the soul. Narrator Kate Forbes' stirring interpretation highlights Cheney's successes and setbacks as she discovers the path to complete self-fulfillment.

Well written, and well read!

This is one of my favorite books. Lots of story, a good dose of adventure, a little romance and a touch of history! The reader did a nice job too.

Slow start but Great Finish

When this book first came out I was but a girl and had no concept of the adult issues that were touched on in this series. I just had a crush on the character of Shiloh Irons and thought Chaney was fantastic. But now that I am older, and have had some experience, I can recognize how this book shaped my life. As for the aforementioned slow start. I found that, because I remembered the story from my teens, it was more boring then I remembered. This might be because this is the first book written by Lynn Morris and it took a while for her writing to hit its stride.

That being said, I still enjoyed it very much after I got over myself and stopped comparing it to other books. Try this book out. If you do not like it then at least you got to meet some interesting characters.

I don't like "Christian" fiction.

What does Kate Forbes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Although I didn't care for the sappiness of this book, the narrator was very good, and made it much more palatable than it would have been in written form.

Any additional comments?

If this had been clearly labeled as Christian Fiction I would have stayed away. I am a Christian and I really don't like the sappy and generally trite stories that this genre generates. It was recommended to me on goodreads because of other titles I had read and was not clearly labeled as a
