    About this audiobook

    At twenty-one, Amanda Broadmoor had the right to make her own way in life, but her father and mother hardly saw it that way. Women working in the medical field were still frowned upon, and Amanda had been reared to marry and produce heirs, not tend the sick. And especially not those suffering from cholera. “And Mama can be such an alarmist,” Amanda whispered. At the first report of cholera in Rochester, Amanda’s mother had suggested the entire family take refuge at their summer estate on Broadmoor Island in the St. Lawrence River. However, that idea had been immediately vetoed by her father. Father had said his work would not permit him to leave Rochester, and for once, Amanda had agreed with one of his decisions. After devoting so much of her time and energy to medical training at Dr. Carstead’s side, she couldn’t possibly desert her work – not now, not when she was needed most.

    • 4/5
      A satisfactory conclusion to the Broadmoor Legacy series that details the lives of three cousins; the first book highlights the life of Fanny Broadmoor, the second book highlights her cousin Sophie Broadmoor, and the third and final book deals with the life of their cousin Amanda Broadmoor. While Fanny is compromised by her father's suicide and her uncle's avarice, Sophie is compromised by her need for her father's attention, and her playful and sometimes wild spirit. Amanda, the third of the group is the most aware of the social obligations of her station in life, while still desiring to spread her wings and venture into a career that is largely forbidden to women of her time. In this story, the reader is drawn into Amanda's world, hoping against hope that she will somehow be allowed to pursue her passion. Her father's bad choices lead to despair for the young woman until God intervenes to provide her with hope.
