The Doctor's Lady
378 pages · First published 2011
In 1836, Priscilla White and Dr. Eli Ernest both want to join a missionary expedition to Oregon Territory, but the mission board requires its workers to be married. A marriage of convenience gives each the opportunity to pursue a calling they believe is more important than romance. The overland journey and the demands of establishing medical and mission work in the Pacific Northwest quickly test both their practical partnership and their assumptions about one another. Inspired by the historical journey of Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, Jody Hedlund’s novel combines Christian historical romance with frontier medicine, missionary history, and a marriage that becomes more personal than either intended.
