Free (nook/Kindle/iTunes/ePub) Light of My Heart [Xtian 1890s Doctor Novel w/Romance]

[ATDrake]

Light of My Heart by Ginny Aiken is the 1st in her Silver Hills Trilogy of western historical literary/women's fiction novels with strong f/m romantic elements set in a Colorado mining town in the 1890s, this installment starring a plucky lady doctor from Philadelphia who jumps at the chance to move somewhere where her professional skills would be appreciated, only to run into significant difficulties with that latter, free courtesy of Christian publisher Baker's Revell imprint.

Though the other novels in this trilogy seem to be more straightforwardly romantic (overtly focusing on different couples getting together), the blurb and customer reviews seem to think that this 1st one is much more focused on the main character's small-town doctoring arc than the developing romance (they also seem to think that the romance-y bits are relatively racy for inspirational romance, so caveat Gentle Reader). YMMV.

Currently free, apparently on a long-term basis as one of the recent rotation of their 1st-in-series introductory freebies @ B&N (also UK), Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK, Kobo & iTunes & Google Play (all available to Canadians), ChristianBook (ADE-DRM ePub available worldwide).

Description
She wanted to change the course of her life, but this lady doctor didn't know what she was up against.

As 1892 draws to a close, Dr. Letitia Morgan boards a train in Philadelphia headed for Hartville, Colorado. The young town's booming silver mine has attracted so many people that Hartville is in need of a new doctor to treat women and children. Letty jumps at the chance to start a new life where she'll be appreciated as a medical professional-despite the fact she's a woman.

But as she gets to know more about this bustling town, Letty realizes that perhaps she's bitten off more than she can chew. Armed with determination and her trunks of medical supplies, she buckles down to minister to the wayward children of the town drunk, girls caught in Hartville's thriving brothels, and a newspaperman broken by the loss of his young wife.

But not everyone warms to the lovely new physician, and Letty finds herself the target of vicious attacks. When she is thrust into a confrontation over the fate of three orphans, her life will never be quite the same.
