    This was one of the most gripping, heartfelt stories I have read in a long time. Jody Hedlund brings the characters and the trials and tribulations they face along their journey to life. I felt like I was traveling with them. The story was well-written and beautifully captured Eli and Priscilla's story.

    The characters, oh the characters! I absolutely LOVED Priscilla. Her feelings, emotions, thoughts and fears came to life in the pages of this book. I felt like I found a new friend. I admired her for her courage and strength, her weakness and her faith that God would lead her through anything. Eli is an admirable man. he is strong, yet tender; fierce, yet gentle; and he is sure of God's call on his life. Their romance was fitting and absolutely amazingly written.

    They both had to learn the amazing and important lesson of trust and giving ones whole self to the one who created you. This thought sums it up: "Her own strength had faltered many times during this trip...In experiencing her weaknesses, she was learning just how much she needed the One who could truly sustain her." When we learn to truly rely on the Lord, we can overcome our weaknesses to become the people He wants us to be.

    Overall, I absolutely enjoyed this book and cannot wait to get my hands on another Jody Hedlund book!

    Okay, I've got two words for you : Jody Hedlund!!

    Praise be Jesus because I've been waiting for a while- make that a long while- to get my hands on this book.

    I'm so happy to say that it was worth the wait and that I enjoyed every word! (Finished it in less than 12 hours).

    My first read from Jody Hedlund, and thank God that it's not her last work.

    Oh how I LOVE a good love story! I also appreciated the fact that this novel (inspired by a true story) demonstrated how God is strong in our weaknesses.

    But let's get it straight here. Ladies, if you like a good story, packed with adventure, twists and turns, a hot hero (um, sorry??) An even hoter love story, (NOT the 'cute' kind);

    It's about time you considered Jody's writing!

    Historical fiction means much more when it's been inspired by a true story, and that's just what Jody Hedlund gives her readers in "The Doctor's Lady".

    It is 1836, and Priscilla White knows she has been called to be a missionary teacher in India. She is just as sure that God has called her to remain single, but the Mission Board has decided young, single women are not fit for the dangerous mission field, and have turned down her application.

    Dr. Eli Ernest is also bound for the mission field — as a doctor to the native tribes in the newly discovered northwest. He has spent a year among the tribes in Oregon, and longs to return, but the Mission Board supporting him has determined that he must take a wife along, or not return at all.

    In order for both of them to fulfill God's call, Priscilla and Eli decide to marry — in name only. But even as they start their journey west, have the seeds of romance already been planted?

    Jody Hedlund was inspired by the story of Narcissa and Marcus Whitman, missionaries to the Nez Perce Indians in the early 1800's. Mrs. Hedlund drew extensively from the Whitman's diaries for her story, giving the incidents along the way the true flavor of authenticity.

    "The Doctor's Lady" is Mrs. Hedlund's second book (her first was her award-winning "The Preacher's Bride", 2010), and I hope we will be able to enjoy many more offerings. Her next book, "Unending Devotion", is due out September, 2012, and is available for pre-order now.

    I received a free copy of this book from the publisher for my unbiased review.

    I loved Jody Hedlund's book, The Doctor's Lady! This is the first book of hers that I've read, but it definitely won't be the last. I love books that keep me wanting to turn the page to see what's going to happen next. This was one of those.

    From the very first word, "Indians!", she had me wondering where this story of a marriage of convenience was going to go. Inspired by the true account of Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, missionaries to the Nez Perce Indians in Oregon, Jody takes us on a journey of trials and hardships as well as triumph and romance. And threaded through the entire story is the message of how God loves all people.
