Just so you know. ;) I am having some very conflicted feelings on this book . . . there were a lot of parts I really enjoyed in this book, and storywise overall, I would say I really liked it. But there were also a lot of things I didn't like, or things that frustrated me. Characters: Cheney was only about a 3 star character for me. She can be really sweet, but also tough and gruff, and even somewhat feministic at times, which I didn't like at all. I do like how the Morris' didn't seem to condone it though; it was just part of her story arc. Just kinda "meh". I do love her parents though! They were really sweet and supportive, yet still protective! They reminded me in some ways of my own parents. I also really like Dev! Various characters on the ship were very sweet and nice; Anne was one of my favorites! And let's not forget Mr. Mercer! He's hilarious! And so nice! And sweet and . . . yeah. I am SO thankful the author didn't make him the love interest! Ugh! That would have been horrible! He married the perfect person! The story was a very interesting premise, and the fact that the MC was a doctor was really what made me interested in the series. I really enjoyed the medical details and wish there were more! All in all, I enjoyed this book, but am definitely not reading the rest of the series! Why? CONTENT NOTE: So, not really recommended. It was one of those okay books. Graduating from the Woman's Medical College of the prestigious University of Pennsylvania as a full-fledged, documented, accredited physician, young and energetic Cheney Duvall assumed that she would immediately find a suitable position. But after two months of applying and interviewing for several different openings, then being summarily rejected because she was a woman, she had almost given up hope. When Cheney hears that a man named Asa Mercer is looking for a doctor to care for the two hundred women he is transporting on an extended sea voyage from New York to Washington Territory, she grabs the position. Mercer is actually delighted that Cheney is a female doctor who can also help chaperone these potential brides-to-be for the frontiersmen in the West. -Amazon.com These were enjoyable Christian fiction. Not my favorite but interesting enough. There are a few odd/awkward parts throughout the series but nothing 'bad' ever happens. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
