Laurie Alice Eakes
Laurie Alice Eakes brings to life a gripping story of trust, deception and bittersweet loss, as a young woman learns the true meaning of choices of the heart. In the third book of The Midwives series, you will be transported back to 1840’s Appalachia with a tender romance that includes closely guarded secrets and a bitter feud.
Esther Cherrett comes from a proud line of midwives and was trained by her mother to take over the family calling. But when a scandal threatens all she holds dear, Esther takes a position as a teacher in the western mountains of Virginia instead. There she finds herself in the midst of a deadly family feud and courted by two men on opposite sides of the conflict. When it seems as though her past has followed her all the way into the mountains, all she wants is to run away again.
ISLAND BREEZES
She wanted to leave it all behind — her past, her vocation and all the ugly rumors. She slipped out in the middle of the night without leaving a note.
She ended up way out in the boonies as a teacher. It was an odd situation that put her in the middle of a family feud.
As a nurse, I know you can’t really leave behind the healer in you. Esther couldn’t. It could even get her killed. It might also bring about her redemption. Esther’s dilemma will touch your heart as you see possibilities for a love match on either side of the feud.
I’m definitely enjoying Ms Eakes series, The Midwives.
