Francine Howard has her life all mapped out until the soldier she planned to marry at WWII's end writes to tell her he's in love with a woman in England. Devastated, Francine seeks a fresh start in the Appalachian Mountains, training to be a nurse midwife for the Frontier Nursing Service.
Deeply affected by the horrors he witnessed at war, Ben Locke has never thought further ahead than making it home to Kentucky. His future shrouded in as much mist as his beloved mountains, he's at a loss when it comes to envisioning what's next for his life.
When Francine's and Ben's paths intersect, it's immediately clear that they are from different worlds and value different things. But love has a way of healing old wounds . . . and revealing tantalizing new possibilities.

THESE HEALING HILLS
4By Ellen/OceansideTHESE HEALING HILLS by Ann Gabhart Francine needed an adventure for her bruised heart. An opportunity to be a midwife, riding a horse in Kentucky. To get off a bus and to find out the hospital was on the side of the mountain, and a path to get to. Called to help, and a swinging bridge, about did it for her. Your heart goes out to Francine, this would be more of a nightmare. You have to admire the courage she had. Ben across the ocean, fighting a war, wanting the open spaces of home. A fractured arm sends him home, to a farm. Without his father to help. The courage these two had, was a great story. They struggled, but it strengthen them. Readers will enjoy this in depth look at life in the hills , following the war. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.
