Dr. Letitia Morgan comes to Hartville, Colorado, in the late 1800s to follow her God-given calling to heal. Soon she becomes Hartville's ministering angel, reaching out to the children of the town drunk, and skillfully touching all who need her. But not everyone warms to the lovely new physician and Letty ruffles plenty of feathers when she takes on Hartville's thriving brothels. As she rescues first one then another young girl forced into the sordid trade, Letty becomes the target of some of the town's most powerful people. Eric Wagner, Hartville's newspaper editor, finds he got much more than he bargained for when he brought this female doctor to town. As Letty stirs more controversy with each passing day, he wonders if he can save the noble-minded doctor from herself. This is heart-warming and engaging fiction at its best, straight from the pen of a skilled storyteller.

Can't wait for the next book in this series!,
This review is from: Light of My Heart (Silver Hills Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)
This book is the first in the Silver Hills Trilogy and I have to admit, I really enjoyed this book. It's about Letitia Morgan, a young female doctor trying to find her way in the booming silver mining town of Hartville, Colorado in 1892. All her life, Letty has never fit in anywhere but she knows that God has called her to be a doctor and to help anyone she can. Unfortunately for Letty female doctors, especially those that are spinsters, are not well liked in this town and she must fight an uphill battle. Especially when she starts ministering to the town's undesirables. But she knows God's call on her life is strong and she's willing to risk everything on what she knows is right. But will she risk Erik Wagner, the tall handsome newspaper man who has stolen her heart? Can she heal him of a hurt that he is not willing to let go? If you are looking for a really good romance novel that will make you laugh, get mad and will melt your heart than I fully recommend this one. I also appreciated the the strong Christian morality in this book. I can't wait to read the next book in this series. --- reviewed by Laurie Jones for Christian Bookshelf

Blazing the Trail for Woman Doctors in Colorado,
By
This review is from: Light of My Heart (Silver Hills Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)
Dr. Letitia Morgan, a young doctor, travels to Colorado to set up her practice. Her job was compliments of a newspaperman who is nursing a long and unsolved very private guilt that he feels maybe a lady doctor can erase. However, Letitia soon finds herself entangled with the health and welfare of some very young "soiled doves" and a family of orphans, much to the dismay of her sponsor and the town. Treating male patients is also denied her since there is already one male doctor in town who is very suspicious, rich and selfish in this mining town.
Dr. Morgan has difficulty making many friends since most see her as a threat. However, she refuses to let their opinions sway her away from her God-called occupation so she ends up in a precarious position, without patients or funds and looking for a new job. This is the first book of a trilogy and I have already purchased the next two. I am not certain if they contain all the same characters but I do believe they take place in the same town.

Sweet story,
By Huntress Reviews (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Light of My Heart (Silver Hills Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)
Before women's liberation took hold, Letitia Morgan earned the right to be a doctor, but it was a fight all the way to get folks to trust her with their lives. Yet, she found a place where she was needed, a small town in Colorado that desperately needed someone who could take care of their women and children. Not only will she have to prove her talent, but also earn the respect of her potential patients. That means keeping her reputation unspotted and maybe even compromising her hypocratic oath, if some have their way and she only treats respectable folks.However, Letty won't do that, no matter the cost. No one is too downtrodden for her to help, not a drunk's family, not a bunch of ladies of the night. Eric Wagner admires her determination, but thinks she should be more cautious, for more reasons than one. Eric may be Letty's biggest case yet; he needs heart surgery of the deepest kind. Eric's refused to love anyone since he let his wife down and in his opinion, let her die. He can't chance doing that again, but it may kill his soul not to. *** The problems of today are the problems of yesterday, Ms Aiken's story says. How to hate sin but not the sinner is a question that dogs both the residents of her Little Housesque world and the world today. This sweet story is saved from being too much so by a slightly gritty edge. *** Reviewed by Amanda Killgore
