I loved this piece of historical fiction. The main character, Dr. Agnes White, overcame sexual bias and personal challenges, becoming a renowned physician. Her struggles to achieve her dreams in a time women were discouraged from being educated made me appreciate even more the battles our women ancestors fought in our behalf. This story was inspired by a real person, which made me do some research to find out more.
As a group we found it slow and non-interesting. We felt there were parts missing that could have brought the story to life better.
