About this ebook
Amelia expects great adventure in the new land of Texas, but her dreams are shattered when her employer abandons her in Galveston.
The sudden proposal of the ship's handsome physician seems too good to be true; is Doctor Stein really the man she imagines? Settling with him in the German migrant camp on the Texas coast only feeds her sense of failure.
Amelia’s secret life is masked by the couple’s growing prosperity and her successful operation of Stein’s mercantile store. But after a buying trip to New Orleans opens a whole new chapter of personal fulfillment for her, she begins her path towards becoming an independent woman.
A story of personal growth, hardship and courage, THE DOCTOR'S WIFE is the first book in Myra Hargrave McIlvain's series of historical novels, set in mid-19th century Texas.

I don't understand why this was listed as a romance. But it is excellent historic fiction. As a relatively new Texan, I very much enjoyed this story. Though I'm not on the coast, I could hear the sounds, smell the odors, and visualize the sights of early western coastal Texas. Her prose is vivid and evocative. Yes, the story is mundane but it is life and life is mostly mundane. What makes it special is what this tale tells--how we must wrestle with the circumstances we encounter and make them ours to succeed. Very well done, madam. I hope to read more of your work
