The Stars for a Light by Lynn Morris
She had a dream, but reaching her goal seemed as dark as night . . .
Fresh from medical school in the 1860s--and a woman at that--the young Dr. Cheney Duvall struggles to find a position. She has almost given up hope when Asa Mercer turns up. He wants her services to chaperone and care for two hundred brides-to-be on a sea voyage from New York to Washington Territory. Cheney jumps at the opportunity. Accompanied by an unlikely nurse, Shiloh Irons, she finds herself facing an arduous voyage and dangers for which her medical training didn't prepare her.
Lynn Morris is a well-known and skilled writer in her own right, the daughter of famed historical novelist Gilbert Morris. The first volume in this eight-book series was released in 1994, and it became an instant bestseller (the series' eight books have sold approximately half a million copies). Lynn has a grown daughter and lives near her parents in Alabama. The author's detailed background investigations of the historical context, medical customs of the late 1800s, and the training institutions finally being opened to women, provide for intriguing plots and emotional conflicts for the unique character of Cheney Duvall.
