About the Book:
Master storyteller Rosemary Wells tells the incredible true story of a World War I nurse who brought medical care to the Appalachians
Mary Breckinridge, trained as a nurse during World War I, rode on horseback into the isolated mountains of Appalachia and never looked back. Instead, she spent her life fording icy streams and climbing untracked mountains to bring medical help to those in need. More nurses on horseback joined Mary . . . and the Frontier Nursing Service was born. Mary?s story is amazing. And it is true.
?Wells?s realistic yet poetic prose perfectly captures the dichotomy of the majestic beauty of Appalachia and the harsh realities of mountain life. . . . This one?s a gem.??School Library Journal
