GoodBookStall Review:
Twins, Enoch and Taylor Bestman, have been accepted by the small town of Gooding in Texas, to become their Vet and Doctor respectively. Unfortunately this is 1892 and by an oversight, the Mayor has not realised that Taylor is a woman and he sets about making life as difficult for her as he can, with the aim of stopping her practicing and driving her out of the community.
Despite her skill, some in the township do not intend to change their minds and as the story unfolds and she is left alone in the house by Enoch marrying a local widow, frightening things occur.
All this while the bond strengthens between Taylor and Karl, a local blacksmith, as Karl accompanies her on her visits to outlying patients.
A very enjoyable story and a reminder of how recently attitudes to women have begun to change.
