Medicine Woman: Western Prairie Brides
About this ebook
It's 1908 on the western Canadian prairie, and Mary has attained her dream. She's one of the first women doctors, and she's struggling hard for acceptance.
The choices are clear cut--pursue her hard-earned career, or fall in love and follow her heart. At this time and in this place, women can't have both.
But when she meets David, a man trying to find a balance between his Indian mother and his white father, she longs for more.
David is returning to his people on the western prairies. He doesn't fully understand how the way of life he remembers from childhood has changed. Government policies have forced his Blackfoot people onto reserves, and there are troubling laws being enforced.
He thinks longingly of Mary, but he's sure their lives are too disparate to ever come together.
Can love find a way?

About the author
Best-selling writer Bobby Hutchinson writes stories about almost everything, as long as everything involves romance, quirky people, outrageous kids, deafness, time travel, or medicine, with most of which she's familiar.
(Well, maybe not time travel. But who knows?)
She lives in a funky little cottage in Cranbrook, B.C., a small city in the Canadian Rockies. In the summer, she hauls her very small travel trailer, Calamity Jane, to campgrounds. In the winter, she hibernates.
She faints at the sight of blood, although her best-selling medical romance series, Emergency, does have the occasional scene involving bodily fluids.
She's written over 60 books, mostly romance, with a few memoirs tossed in. How Not To Run A B&B, set in Vancouver, was chosen by the Kootenay Library Association as Best Book of the Year, and is now being made into a film.
She lives in the land of possibility. And she's now writing faster than ever because at 83, who knows when she'll head off to seek the Great Perhaps?
