These Healing Hills by Ann H. Gabhart is about a woman, Francine Howard, who moves to the Appalachian Mountains after the man she loves leaves her for another woman.
Francine Howard had her life mapped out until everything comes crashing down when her fiancé returns home in love with another woman he met during the war. Hurt and devastated, Francine decides to seek a fresh start and answers the call to become a midwife for the Frontier Nursing Service in the Appalachian Mountains.
Ben Locke has never thought much beyond returning home after experiencing the horrors of war. He has spent most of his life in the mountains and doesn’t know what to do now that he has returned. When Francine and Ben meet, it is clear that they come from very different worlds, but there seems to be a spark between them. Will they be able to put aside their differences?
The novel was an okay read. It was a clean Christian romance with no steamy moments. I enjoyed learning about the Frontier Nursing Service and life in the Appalachian Mountains. My favorite parts were Francine’s encounters with the townspeople. The book was a bit longer than it needed to be, though.
Overall, if you like clean Christian historical romances, you might enjoy this one.
