Against the Wind by Amanda Cabot

This is the second book in the Secrets of Sweetwater Crossing series.  It's not necessary to read the first book to read this one.  Book one is good so I would recommend reading it.

This book is about, Louisa, a woman who wants to be a doctor in the old West.  It was a time when women were expected to be nothing more that a wife and mother.  Louisa wants that also.  But she has wanted to be a doctor since she was very little.  Sweetwater crossing is not very receptive to her being a doctor.  Even with her successes the people don't think she has any business being there.  Josh is one of her success stories.  He was thrown from his horse and broke his leg.  She came across him in the road and took him home and fixed him up.  Josh is on a mission to come up with an idea to propose to his grandfather so he can be the one to take over the store in New York instead of his cousin.  This is Louisa's journey to become a doctor against all kinds of odds.  Josh has to learn what he wants to do rather than what his grandfather expects of him.  Then have the courage to do something about it.  

I also recommend this book to anyone who likes a good read.

I received this book from Revell Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
