Book 5 of 24: Silverpines

See all formats and editions

A women doctor dealing with prejudice, a male doctor who arrives under false pretenses, can they heal each other’s hearts?

Hattie Richards has two strikes against her: she is half Indian and a woman. Even with her education as a physician, the town of Silverpines doesn't see her as more than a healer. When a disaster strikes leaving most of the town dead or injured, the surviving residents turn to Hattie to heal the wounded. Despite the previous rejection of those very skills, Hattie realizes that she will need help and sends a telegram to her medical college asking for a resident physician to come assist and bring supplies. What she doesn’t expect is Robert Childs from Boston.

Dr. Robert Childs is a well-known surgeon, running from his past. When a position for a new town doctor opens in the small town of Silverpines, Oregon, Robert knows this is his opportunity to start anew. The only condition? He must come as a mail-order groom.

Working side by side to heal the residents of Silverpines, Robert falls in love with the shy and proud Hattie. Then he meets his intended, who is Hattie’s best friend! When the truth comes to light, Hattie realizes Robert isn’t the doctor she sent for.

Will his intended bride force him to honor their agreement? What happens when the real resident physician arrives? Will Hattie’s friendship survive with her best friend? Can Hattie and Robert open their hearts to true love and heal more than just the people of Silverpines?

This is a sweet romance with some kissing and lots of misunderstandings, as two wounded people go seeking a happily ever after. Although this is part of the Silverpines series, it can be read as a stand-alone novel.

good story well put together

i enjoyed the story, and that it was well done- wasn't full of annoying errors or ridiculously contrived unrealistic actions by characters as so many have been lately, so I could just relax & enjoy a nice story.

Lots of wonderful character to engage the reader. Little bit of romance and throw in a bad guy with a shootout, it makes for a great story. I enjoyed all the medicine and herbs Hattie worked with. This was a well written book that kept me interested from beginning to end!
Was given a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.

Strong female character

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2018

I really enjoyed Hattie as the main female character of this book. She is strong and intelligent with great concern for her fellow man. I like that she combined the herbal knowledge of her Indian family with the education and training she received to become a medical doctor. I enjoyed how she continued to put so much time, money, and effort into treating the residents of Silverpines although they did not necessarily return her respect. The only thing I didn't like about this book was that I felt the multiple letters/need to fulfill the term of the letter that was sent to Robert was a little too confusing. I wish I could give this 3.5 stars because I hate to rate it down a full star but I can't give 4 stars with how much the letter/meeting with the town council took me out of the story.

You have to pick up one of Christine Stering's books. You will love her choice of characters, her choice of what to do with them, but most of all, you will love her stories. Go grab your first book by Christine Sterling.

This is a very good story, with lots of action, a lot of secrets and people who need to ask questions rather than just stand aside and go with the flow. This little town finally gets their eyes opened and find out they had treated someone very badly and have many amends to pay. This is an interesting, exciting series.

Can she trust the new Doctor?

Reviewed in Canada on July 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

Hattie is a full Doctor but the townspeople are prejudiced against her because she's half-native. But after the disaster, she's the only one who can help the wounded. A new doctor arrives in town. She assumes he's the student doctor she's requested but he's really a fully experienced Doctor from Boston. He's supposed to be marrying Tess but he's falling for Hattie.
Can they work together to help heal the wounded? Will Robert be able to convince Hattie to give love a try? What will he do to get out of marrying Tess, who doesn't even realize she's been promised to him?
I really liked this story. It was nice to have an account of the aftermath and see the town dealing with the disaster. Hattie is such a caring person, in the face of such bad treatment.
I recommend reading this clean, sweet romance.
Side note: Read this book before reading The Coffin Maker, which you need to read before Wanted: Gravedigger.

Totally enjoyed this book

Reviewed in Canada on February 23, 2020

I loved how the author introduced the prejudices of the old west and managed to bring two people together who would be able to see past it all and work together to bring harmony to the town. It's probably something that happened too at one time, at least, I hope so!
