Chasing Dreams by Paulette
Marshall
Book starts with a dedication
page, family tree and who is who then the story.
1895 and Dr. Polly is on a train heading to her
new location to assist a local doctor. The train is held up and she helps many others
recover and bandage them up. A few men are guarding a prize bull in a separate
car and they shoot at the robbers til they leave.
She meets Alan and she finds
herself a bit shaken up... Story follows them and others as they come into
play. She stays with a couple she met on the train and they build a house for
her to see patients.
Love how she and Alan team up to
help others in the vicinity and are able to bring those deathly sick back to
the hub to tend to them all. She does get Bridget to help out. Love that the
neighbors consider her part of their family.
What a precious gift Alan has
for her, but she is kidnapped....They want to sell her in the big city... Like
history, travel, romance and the west and how they survived. LOVE the part
about breathing in steam from a cup of soup to ward off viruses up your nose!
Struggles, health wise and
savage of others really come out in this story. Love the ending and the excerpt
from two other of the author's stories. Once a dream is accomplished you make
another one and go after that goal.
Quite shocked that there were so
many typos in this version. Ends with acknowledgement and about the author and
how to contact her. Love this book, reminds me so much of 1883 on the fire
stick.
I received this review copy from
BookFunnel via the author and this is my honest opinion.
