The Doctor's Mission

By: Debbie Kaufman

Product Description

A woman doctor! Missionary William Mayweather can't hide his disappointment. The Nynabo mission in Liberia, Africa, desperately needs help, but he's vowed not to put another female in jeopardy. Too bad flame-haired Dr. Mary O'Hara refuses to turn back-and he cannot allow her to go into the jungle alone.

Medicine or marriage? For Mary, the choice was clear. Far away from the patriarchal medical community, she resolves to be of real service. She'll willingly go head-to-head with the handsome, opinionated missionary, even in the face of deadly danger. Yet the greatest tests lie in trusting God's plan-for the mission, and her future happiness in this untamed, beautiful land..

The Doctor's Mission 4.5 5 2 2

Adventurous Amid the lush backdrop of the Liberian jungle lurk unseen dangers, always ready to torment and challenge its victims. Determined pastor William Mayweather, still in grieving over the untimely death of his wife Alice, is taken back with the arrival of the new doctor. Fully expecting a man to emerge from the waiting vehicle he discovers it is not a man at all, but a woman, an outspoken Dr. Mary Ohara emerges greeting William. During their journey through the jungle, along with escorts, on the way to the village of Nynabo they encounter an native tribe. Mary soon realizes the dangers involved. After they reach Nynabo and access the situation they discover the need is greater than they had anticipated. In the wake of despair is it possible for William and Mary to put their differences aside and work together as a team? I found in reading this book that the characters really seemed to "come alive" almost midway into the storyline. Character development was strong and at that point it became hard to put down and pushed my rating to a solid four! The language of the natives added to the charm of the dialogue. It is a romantic suspense novel that was entertaining. I found the overall message to be inspiring and I would recommend this book to others. Thanks to Goodreads and especially to the author who provided me this complimentary copy to read and review. December 31, 2011

Must read As a Loveinspired The DoctorÃ¢ÂÂs Mission more than hits the mark. It is a sweet romance that still has titillating tension. The characters are well-developed and likeable, and the reader roots for the characters to get together. As a historical, the research shines and is woven into the story so that the reader is drawn in, instead of being hit over the head by the information. Its most striking element is that it is some of the finest writing IÃ¢ÂÂve read. It is spot on for the time period. If you like tender romances with a spiritual element I would highly recommend this book. If you just want to read a well-written book this is the one. December 3, 2011
