5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best in the series., July 16, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: A City Not Forsaken (Cheney Duvall, MD) (Book 3) (Paperback)

I liked the book. I did not like how Cheney acted sometimes but in the end a near tragedy brings everyone closer than ever. It really is a heart felt book, I cried in it twice.
I read your inquiry about the Cheney books on Amazon.com. I have read all but #5. I did not like #2 as much as the others. What do you think about Cheney and Shiloh's relationship? I love the books and read each one in a day.
Read about my page deicated to the series Cheney Duvall,

This review is from: A City Not Forsaken (Cheney Duvall, MD) (Book 3) (Paperback)

This book has been one of my favorites in the Cheney Duvall books. I liked the way they stayed in Cheneys home town (New York) and how she help helped with the Cholera outbreak. It suprised me when she came down with it herself. But it had a good ending and is one of my favorites. I am excited to read the rest of the Cheney Duvall books.
