Light of My Heart (Silver Hills Trilogy, Book 1)

This is the first book in this trilogy and I enjoyed myself so far. I would like to borrow another reviewer's simple take on this story; it was "a warm, uplifting faith based romance". It is set in 1893 and tells the story of Dr. Letitia Morgan (Letty) and the struggles she goes through in the

silver mining town of Hartville, Colorado. Women doctors are not looked upon very highly at this time, especially by men. Letty was brought to town to treat women and children, but she is not a woman who stays "inside the box" that people set her up in. The town's newspaper man, Eric Wagner, has brought the doctor here to help the women and children, having lost his wife and child during childbirth. These two people you know are right for each other but the "dance" they do throughout the story is enjoyable at times and frustrating at others. Eric can't commit to love again and Letty can't stop doing things in town that anger folks and that that worry Eric. It is a battle of the wills and enjoyable to read. There is some mystery and danger in the story, but mostly a good romance that is blossoming. It did deal with the whole brothel situation at that time and the sad way young girls were used by wicked and greedy individuals. I appreciated the way the author also incorporated the need to depend upon the Lord in every circumstance and see Him change and bring about the best for everyone involved.
