All She Left Behind by Jane Kirkpatrick

All She Left Behind by [Kirkpatrick, Jane]













All She Left Behind by [Kirkpatrick, Jane]
Here is the book summary:

Already well-versed in the natural healing properties of herbs and oils, Jennie Pickett longs to become a doctor. But the Oregon frontier of the 1870s doesn't approve of such innovations as women attending medical school. To leave grief and guilt behind, as well as support herself and her challenging young son, Jennie cares for an elderly woman using skills she's developed on her own. When her patient dies, Jennie discovers that her heart has become entangled with the woman's widowed husband, a man many years her senior. Their unlikely romance may lead her to her ultimate goal--but the road will be winding and the way forward will not always be clear. Will Jennie find shelter in life's storms? Will she discover where healing truly lives?

Through her award-winning, layered storytelling, New York Times bestselling author Jane Kirkpatrick invites readers to leave behind their preconceived notions about love and life as they, along with Jennie, discover that dreams may be deferred--but they never really die. Based on a true story.

And now, my review:
If you are a fan of Jane Kirkpatrick you will want to pick up this one and give it a read.  If you have never read her work before, you will want to pick up this book if you like real life, hard reads that pull you in and you can’t stop reading no matter how hard the words are to hear.  That’s a sign of an amazing author.  Jane drew me in and I just couldn’t stop reading until it was over.  There were definitely parts to this book that were very hard to read and I found myself wanting to pray for the characters.  Disturbing, raw, realistic, real life situations… all fit into this read.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
