Bessie Rehwinkel

I was particularly drawn to this book because I believe she and the man who wrote it are relatives of mine. Dr. Bessie becomes a woman physician in the early 1900's when this was an unplowed field for women -- she endured all kinds of hardships in early America as a homesteader/dr. raising three orphaned neices. Her story carries much pathos, history, and her unwavering faith in God's goodness. I loved the story, needless to say !
