My Name Is Mary Sutter by Robin Oliveira

I really liked this book. I got right into it and didn't want to put it down.  It is the story of Mary Sutter, a midwife from Albany, New York who goes to the Civil War front in hopes of becoming a surgeon.

The story is well told, and I thought the characters were well portrayed. I'm glad it was chosen for our book group, because I don't know if I would have discovered it otherwise (the beauty of being in a book group).

It's so fun to be getting some good reading in!
