The Doctor's Lady
Jody Hedlund
The Doctor's Lady is historical romance that was inspired by Marcus and Narcissa Whitman. Pricilla White has been instructed that she can't be sent to the mission field unless she's married. She is convinced that God wants her in the ministry in some way. Dr. Eli has returned from Oregon with a burden to minister to the American Indians there and is recruiting funds when he hears the same message - he must be married in order for the mission board to support him.
The two form a business minded merger in order to serve God on the mission field. Neither is interested in a real marriage. But God has other plans and they fall in love on the journey to Oregon.
I enjoyed this book. The book was well written and used quite a few elements of truth from the Whitman story to make it seem real and believable. The book is rather long, but didn't feel that way because the story flowed quickly and kept me interested the entire time.
I received this book free of charge from Bethany House in exchange for my honest review.
