Summary

"The Lady Doc" by Caroline Lockhart is a story about tough women trying to make their way in a rough, growing frontier town. We meet Dr. Emma Harpe, a doctor dealing with a mistake she made in surgery, and Essie Tisdale, a waitress dreaming of a better life and finding love. The book kicks off with a prospector named Dick Kincaid discovering a family struggling to stay alive, which shows just how hard life could be back then. Twenty years later, Dr. Harpe is battling to be taken seriously as a female doctor, while Essie brings hope and energy to the town of Crowheart. The book looks at how these characters deal with community, staying alive, and the special challenges women faced in a world run by men.
