Cheney faces two enemies--superstition and greed . . .
Cheney Duvall has proven herself as a true doctor to those 200 brides
with whom she traveled to the West. But arrival in Seattle with a string
of medical successes during the voyage does not open any doors for her
in this frontier town--she's "just a woman." Returning east, she finds
an invitation to a remote spot in the Ozark mountains where there are no
doctors at all. But she runs into walls of illiteracy, superstition, and
immovable distrust of Yankees--most especially focused on an "edjicated
female thinks she's a real doc." How will she overcome centuries of hate
and mistrust?
