About the Book:

About the Author:

My Review:
Mary Connealy’s new series, Sophie’s Daughters, is E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T! I loved EVERYTHING about this book, from Mary’s seasoned writing to the plot to sweet Sophie herself. There was no way I was putting this book down once I got started. WOWEE!
Doctor in Petticoats is Beth McClellan’s story and oh boy! What a story this spunky one has. All she wants to be is a doctor….that is until she meets a broken, crazy lunatic by the name of Alex Buchanan. Both these fabulous characters wormed their way into my heart to stay. Mary Connealy really pulled me into the story with these two. I was right side beside them, in a west Texas town, helping to heal others. If only I could REALLY go back into time and to that town!
While I love the characters that Mary Connealy created for this tender cowboy story, I loved the laugh-out-loud humor she uses the most. It really gives her stories added oomph and keeps the readers hungry for more! Between the laughs and the spiritual messages this book was HARD to resist!
If you’ve never read Mary’s work, this would be a great place to start, so what are you waiting for? Do so now! Doctor in Petticoats is more than 5 star worthy, and should be read again and again….and again! I can’t wait to read about another of Sophie’s spunky, sweet daughters in Wrangler in Petticoats. Well done, Mary!
