This is an amazing story of a woman who went to the Colorado mining community to practice medicine. It tells her life's situations as a woman doctor at a time when many men looked at it with little regard. But she gains the confidence of the people and has great success in her unconventional methods of treating people. Some of her experiences are just downright funny, others will break your heart. It is written in the form of a novel that spans the time of her arrival and follows her life through all the hardships, heartaches, and joys of being a truly remarkable woman and doctor. A great read, hard to put down.
