Detour

The author of Dr. Frau: A Woman Doctor Among the Amish continues her wonderful reminiscences. This time she includes the accident which paralyzes her professional life. Interwoven with the story of her personal struggle are stories of patients who come to see her when she is a patient-- and the memories of delivering babies, battling snowstorms, heartbreak, and joy. "This is a can't-put-it-down book." -- Bookends "She exhibits the heart and mind of a poet in her vivid descriptions and colorful similes . . . Readers will enjoy this well-written account of life as a country doctor and as a patient with the uncertainties of physical therapy." -- Mennonite Weekly Review
