"A Nurse For Jacob " by Caryl McAdoo is the fourth is in this series. They can be read as standalones. I think this one is the best so far, but it only the fourth,lol. I love Caryl McAdoo' books because she let's her readers know that her faith is strong and her stories are full of truth without being preachy. This books deals with alchol as a way to cope with life, a jealous coworker and illness and injuries during the Civil war aftermath. I say read these books because you will come away from them rejoicing in the power of love and have a new appreciate for nurses.
I was given a contemporary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.
About the Author
Award-winning author Caryl McAdoo prays her story brings God glory, and her best-selling stories—over fifty published—delight Christian readers around the world. The prolific writer also enjoys singing the new songs the Lord gives her; you may listen at YouTube. Sharing four children and nineteen grandsugars with Ron, her high-school-sweetheart-husband of over fifty years, she lives in the woods south of Clarksville, seat of Red River County in far Northeast Texas. The McAdoos wait expectantly for God to open the next door.More from Caryl
From the get-go, the idea about writing a story with a nurse heroine intrigued me; I haven’t had one before. My niece is a nurse and I have several friends and readers who serve. I believe nursing is a divine calling and admire the many who choose to be a medical servant.The connection in the multi-author Nursing the Heart Collection is that the first class of nurses recently graduated from the Harrows’s School of Nursing are placed across the country through the friends and acquaintances of Clara Barton, who teaches at the school.
So I joined the project and started my research of medical practices in the post-Civil War years. It was a time where many medical breakthroughs occurred, and older instruments were greatly improved. I so enjoyed learning how healthcare practices have changed.
I think you’ll enjoy all that to as an integral part of this historical romance. This Texas author hopes readers will love my two medical servants, Lydia Andrews and the older Doctor Jacob Johnston, and I’m always “Praying my story gives God glory!”
