New to me author

I just finished reading Doctor in Petticoats by Mary Connealy. It is the first book in the "Sophie's Daughters" series. I borrowed this historical fiction book from our local library; it caught my attention with the cover and title. I wasn't familiar with the author either.

Beth McClellen is involved in a stagecoach accident as she's heading back home. One of the fellow passengers is Alex Buchanan, former doctor in the army. While trying to tend the patients of the accident, Beth realizes Alex's skill for doctoring. However, he does not want to be a doctor anymore because of all the nightmares he has from war. Alex realizes that if Beth is beside him, he can do the doctoring. The couple faces trouble when a bounty hunter is after Alex for being a deserter.

I just wanted to share this author with you as I enjoyed this storyline and characters very much. I look forward to reading the next book in this series about another of "Sophie's Daughters."

Have a day of blessings!
