Interpretation Toward Books The Stars for a Light (Cheney Duvall, M.D. #1)
No Medical School Ever Could Have prepared Cheney for Her First PositionGraduating from the Womans Medical College of the prestigious University of Pennsylvania as a full-fledged, documented, accredited physician, young and energetic Cheney Duvall assumed that she would immediately find a suitable position. But after two months of applying and interviewing for several different openings, then being summarily rejected because she was a woman, she had almost given up hope.
When Cheney hears that a man named Asa Mercer is looking for a doctor to care for the two hundred women he is transporting on an extended sea voyage from New York to Washington Territory, she grabs the position. Mercer is actually delighted that Cheney is a female doctor who can also help chaperone these potential brides-to-be for the frontiersmen in the West.
But even before the journey begins, a foreboding shadow darkens what Cheney had thought was a great opportunity to finally use her talents and education. Was she really prepared for what this responsibility requires?

too many names, too convoluted.. Didn't like the writing. Too bad because I was hoping it was like one of my all time favorite books, CHRISTY.I really enjoy this series. Probably more than I should, but Cheney is very endearing to me, as are her family and the rest of the characters. (You gotta love Shiloh.) And fun to learn about history. And Morris makes some enlightening Christian comments.
THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! Just so you know. ;)I am having some very conflicted feelings on this book . . . there were a lot of parts I really enjoyed in this book, and storywise overall, I would say I really liked it. But there were also a lot of things I didn't like, or things that frustrated me. Characters: Cheney was only about a 3 star character for me. She can be really sweet, but also tough and gruff, and even somewhat feministic at times, which I didn't like at all. I do like how

I first read this book in the 9th grade, and I've read it at least 3 times since then. There's so much in it: history, intrigue, adventure, romance, girl power, and it's written by Christian authors. It's a great beginning to a wonderful series.
I love all of Gilbert Morris and Lynn Morris's books. They draw you in to them so easy it makes you feel that you are a part of the story. That you are there where they are. I especially love the historical aspect. They have to put in a great deal of time and research to know so much about history.
A great read... although, I would have liked to seen a deeper character development within the Mercers Belles. Also, a better description of the settings (ie more details about the ships, ports) to set the stage. It will be interesting to see where this series continues.
Let me lump all of the Cheney Duvall books in this review. Some might be a bit better than others but not by anything significant to matter. As a whole, it is a good series. Entertaining, with good plots, well developed characters, and a positive message. The books won't win literary awards, but they're a good read nonetheless.
