"Meticulously researched and beautifully written. The story of a life well lived." -Kathleen Grissom, NY Times bestselling author of The Kitchen House

From the author of The Unlocked Path comes a sweeping continuation of Dr. Eliza Edwards' journey through some of America's most turbulent decades, celebrating the unsung women who fought for the right to heal and to change lives across generations.

In 1936, as the Depression ravages careers, Eliza redefines her abilities, traveling to Georgia and Tennessee as she reclaims her purpose and rediscovers her ambitions. Returning to Boston, she endures heartbreak with the eruption of World War II, bringing chaos to the world and sending her sons into battle. Will her unyielding pursuit to limit suffering and save lives sustain her as she navigates personal loss, professional challenges, and a devastating malpractice lawsuit that threatens everything she's worked to achieve?
