Mildred Harrington is a horseback riding midwife in 1925 in rural Montana. She's returning home from a medical visit and comes across her old friend Pat Adams, lying injured, off the side of the road. She barely gets him onto her horse and carefully gets him back to her place. Her friend Renny, who lives at her farm, helps her to get Pat off the horse and into a wagon, so she can splint his broken limb and haul him to the Sister's Mission so he can be tended by a medical doctor. Pat tells her and the Sister's an excuse as to how he became injured, that doesn't add up to the injuries that he has suffered.
Pat eventually tells everyone how he came to be injured. It has something to do with his own father.
Mildred and Pat have a long history together. They've lived near each other, for most of their lives, they've loved each other for most of that time.
I enjoyed the book, it is well written and easy to read.
I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley with no obligation to post a review.… (mer)
