All She Left Behind
Buy the book from:
Jennie Pickett understands herbs and oils and longs to become a physician, but 1870s Oregon offers few formal paths for a woman with a difficult marriage and a son to support. Caring for an elderly patient draws her into a household where professional ambition, grief and an unexpected attachment to the widower become inseparable.
Based on a true story, the novel follows Jennie through social suspicion and the risks of unconventional medical work. Christian faith gives her a language for vocation and forgiveness, while the road towards education demands that she recognise both her abilities and the damage caused by choices made under pressure.
