<strong>I really enjoyed The Medicine Woman of Galveston.</strong><br/><br/>It’s about a strong, compassionate woman trying to make her way as a doctor in the 1890s, when most people didn’t take women in medicine seriously. She’s smart, brave, and deeply caring—and I loved how she blended traditional healing with new medical ideas. The story felt real and heartfelt, and I was rooting for her the whole way.
