Shadow of the Mountains

by Lynn Morris, Gilbert Morris Narrated by Kate Forbes

Overview

This thrilling and heart-warming adventure from popular inspirational novelists Lynn Morris and Gilbert Morris is full of rich historical details and colorful characters. As in The Stars for a Light, Dr. Cheney Duvall struggles against traditional values while seeking to establish her own identity. Much to her parents' dismay, Cheney and her male nurse, Shiloh Irons, decide to take their medical skills to an Ozark Mountain settlement in Arkansas. An old friend of Cheney's is pregnant, and the small town has no doctor. But the mountain people-who are uneducated, superstitious, and resistant to science-hesitate to accept an outsider. With the local medicine woman in the way and a family feud to contend with, Cheney may be biting off more than she can chew. The father/daughter writing team of Lynn Morris and Gilbert Morris combine their skills to produce a lively, sumptuous tale. Narrator Kate Forbes portrays a thoughtful Cheney, whose passion and benevolence are genuinely inspiring.

Editorial Reviews

FEB/MAR 01 - AudioFile

Dr. Cheney Duvall struggles against gender equality issues in the post-Civil War South as she works tirelessly to provide medical support to a small Arkansas settlement. At her side is her faithful nurse, Shiloh Irons, a strong medic who falls in love with the area's local folk healer. Medics and residents alike are threatened by an unscrupulous land developer. Kate Forbes presents a gentle interpretation of this story of feminine faith and determination. She appears to want to deliver the moral message of the text as well as the plot. Many of her characters are barely distinguishable in tone of voice or dialect, but the story remains easy to follow and engaging. R.P.L. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
