Brackenbeck

More about the book

Set in the early 1900s, the story follows Doctor Katharine Harvey as she faces skepticism and resistance from the villagers of Brackenbeck upon taking over a local practice. The community's disdain largely stems from Jim Kendrick, the quarry owner, who disapproves of women doctors. As Katharine navigates this challenging environment, a tragedy ultimately shifts the villagers' perceptions, leading to a transformation in their attitudes toward her and her capabilities as a physician.
